Why TRY- SEL elementary school program

Chaves County, Roswell, New Mexico is procuring the Why Try- SEL (Social Emotional Learning) Elementary School Program via sole-source award from WINGS FOR L.I.E., with proposals due June 28, 2026 and a protest window closing June 15, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement with no competitive bidding process.

The scope is delivery of developmental life skills and healthy decision-making instruction to youths aged 10–17 years using the Developmental Assets Program curriculum framework. The program targets positive decision-making prior to and throughout adolescence.

The contract value is $50,000 annually. Chaves County justified the sole-source award based on receipt of a continuum grant from the State of New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department under the Juvenile Continuum Act for the Juvenile Offender Program; that grant funding directly supports the contract amount. The vendor, WINGS FOR L.I.F.E., is located at PO Box 640, Roswell, New Mexico 88202.

Parties wishing to protest the sole-source intent must submit written objections to Analicia Nieto, Chaves County Purchasing Director, within fifteen calendar days of the posting date (May 29, 2026), no later than June 15, 2026.
