The University of New Mexico Hospital is procuring continued software licensing, subscription, maintenance, support, and related services for its existing Primordial Workflow Orchestration environment through a sole-source purchase from Primordial Design, Inc., with a proposal due October 1, 2026.

This is a sole-source procurement justified on proprietary technology, compatibility with UNMH's existing infrastructure, and exclusive manufacturer support. No competitive bidding occurs. The sole-source justification rests on Primordial's exclusive product-specific technical knowledge, software resources, and system access necessary to maintain and support the proprietary WFO technology. Transitioning to alternative software would require separate procurement, implementation, security reviews, data migration, interface redevelopment, and substantial additional expenditures while disrupting clinical workflows.

The scope covers Workflow Orchestrator application version 4.6.7, supporting failover and test-server software licensing, production and test HL7 inbound interfaces, potential continued or additional software licenses, maintenance and technical support, software updates and upgrades, infrastructure and server-related software, interfaces and integrations, implementation and configuration services, training, and technical consulting. The procurement consolidates UNMH's existing WFO environment and supports both Legacy and current General Availability versions during an ongoing conversion project. Products and services may be procured on an as-needed basis through purchase orders, quotes, statements of work, or other ordering documents during the approved sole-source period, subject to available funding.

The total proposed amount is $216,950.01 over an initial three-year contract term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, with options to renew subject to New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978, Section 13-1-150. Primordial Design, Inc. is located at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Suite 1300, Chicago, Illinois. The sole-source form was submitted August 27, 2026 and approved the same day. UNMH will post the procurement on the UNM Sunshine Portal and State of New Mexico Procurement website for 30 days prior to purchase.
