The Roswell Independent School District (RISD) in New Mexico is pursuing a sole source procurement for youth development services through a contract with Chaves County C.A.S.A. This opportunity is specifically targeting a 12-month program valued at $75,000 to implement gender-specific youth development initiatives using Girls Circle and Boys Leadership models. The procurement focuses on delivering evidence-based programs designed to promote positive identity, healthy relationships, and emotional expression for adolescents in structured educational environments. Key program objectives include social-emotional learning, student engagement, and providing mentoring services with conflict resolution tools and individual life skills. The contract requires the provider to meet in person regularly during the school year, with certified facilitators trained in gender-responsive programming. The procurement is currently posted as of July 1, 2025, with a submission deadline of July 31, 2025, targeting court-involved, trauma-impacted, and at-risk youth populations. The provider must demonstrate expertise in delivering specialized youth development services with a comprehensive, structured curriculum that integrates mentorship and community connection.

The procurement appears to be specifically limited to Chaves County C.A.S.A. as a sole source provider, which effectively restricts competition based on their unique qualifications and local certification. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The organization's exclusive status is justified by their being the only certified and locally-based provider of these specific programs in Chaves County, with extensive experience working with vulnerable youth populations. While the contract is geographically centered in Chaves County, the opportunity documentation indicates Catron County as an associated jurisdiction. The total contract value is $75,000 for the 12-month term, with no indication of potential renewal options or additional funding allocations. The procurement emphasizes the provider's specialized capabilities in delivering gender-specific, evidence-based youth development programming, which appears to be the primary evaluation criterion for selection.
