The University of New Mexico Hospital is procuring the Oracle Health AI Agent Cloud Service, Enterprise Suite with 10,000 AI Units from Cerner Corporation under a sole-source justification, with proposals due July 18, 2026.

This is a restricted procurement — UNMH has asserted that the Oracle Health AI Agent Cloud Service is proprietary intellectual property owned exclusively by Oracle America, Inc., and no third-party vendor has access to Oracle Health's proprietary source code, cloud architecture, AI service framework, or integration components necessary to provide equivalent functionality. The justification cites compatibility requirements within UNMH's existing Oracle Health environment and notes that alternative AI solutions would require extensive integration efforts, custom interfaces, additional cybersecurity reviews, data governance controls, and workflow redesign.

The service is a one-year cloud-based subscription hosted within Oracle's North American data center environment, encompassing Oracle Health AI Agent capabilities, software maintenance, platform support, cloud hosting, upgrades, updates, security management, and ongoing service availability. The initial term is one year with the option to renew subject to NMSA 1978, Section 13-1-150. The procurement may support multiple purchase orders and contracts for additional functionality, licenses, and support fees.

The first-year contract amount is $478,800. The procurement was submitted by Tristan D. Fin, Executive Director of Clinical IT Systems, and approved by Jeffrey Gilmore on June 18, 2026.
