The sole-source justification is Chaves County's receipt of a continuum grant from the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department under the Juvenile Continuum Act for Juvenile Offender Program, which funds and restricts the award to the specified vendor.

The program delivers instruction in developmental life skills and healthy decision-making to youths aged 10–17 years, with curriculum based on the Developmental Assets Program framework. The stated goal is enabling positive decision-making prior to and during adolescence into adulthood.

The contract value is $50,400 or more per year. No specific contract term end date is identified. Performance occurs in Chaves County, which includes Rowe CDP and the Roswell area. Written protests must be submitted to Analicia Nieto, Chaves County Purchasing Director, within fifteen calendar days of the May 28 posting date.
