A New Mexico school district is seeking professional training services from Research for Better Teaching, Inc. on instructional materials the district has already purchased from that vendor, with proposals due November 8, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement — Research for Better Teaching, Inc. is the copyright holder and publisher of the materials and the only authorized provider of professional development training on these proprietary resources.

The scope consists of instructor-led professional training delivered by the content developer to ensure proper implementation and pedagogical understanding of the purchased curriculum. The training is tied directly to the district's existing materials acquisition and is justified on the basis of the vendor's exclusive intellectual property rights and specialized knowledge of curriculum design, learning objectives, and implementation strategies.

The attached Sole Source Request and Determination Form (70-S0150-26-CP427) documents the procurement decision and eliminates competitive bidding requirements.
