This procurement applies New Mexico State Preferences under 13-1-21 NMSA 1978 and the City of Albuquerque's Pay Equity Preference regulations under Section 5-5-31 R.O.A. 1994, with all bidders required to submit a Pay Equity Reporting Form as part of their proposals. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The solicitation does not establish a specific budget range or maximum contract value; however, all pricing is capped at the rates established in the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission Statewide Wrecker Tariff, which serves as the controlling rate schedule for all invoiced services. Awarded vendors must maintain detailed records and submit invoices that include the Purchase Order number, unique invoice number, and itemized charges aligned with contract pricing. While no designated set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation, vendors should verify all applicable state and local preferences and certifications prior to submission to ensure full compliance with procurement requirements.
