New Mexico Department Of Information Technology

The New Mexico Department of Information Technology, doing business as Chief Information Officer, is a U.S. state government entity that provides tower site maintenance and infrastructure support services to the Drug Enforcement Administration and receives federal grants for broadband deployment and digital equity planning. NM DoIT operates as a child entity of the State of New Mexico, delivering primarily federal contract work (97% prime awards) and federal grant work with no set-aside designations; it does not hold government-wide contract vehicles.

NM DoIT's federal contract footprint centers on a single customer with high award frequency but low individual contract values. The Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 18 awards (covering 85% of the vendor's award count by frequency), all structured as annual firm fixed-price purchase orders for tower site maintenance and infrastructure operations. Recent purchase orders include a $19,080 engagement effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, for tower site maintenance in El Paso, Texas; a $19,080 engagement from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, also in El Paso; and a $21,600 engagement from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023. Work encompasses equipment shelters, generators, HVAC systems, cabling, antennas, lighting, security infrastructure, roads, and fencing supporting DEA law enforcement operations. These contracts carry combined potential value of $194 thousand across the portfolio. A small October 1, 2026, purchase order valued at $10,920 with a period of performance through September 30, 2027, represents the most recent DEA engagement.

NM DoIT's federal grant work reflects capacity-building and broadband-access missions through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. The vendor received a $3.986 million Project Grant from ETA under the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending program (CFDA 17.289) for workforce development and digital equity activities spanning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, with plans to distribute sub-award funds to sub-recipients statewide. NTIA awarded a multi-year broadband deployment grant (BEAD program) dated December 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2032, supporting unserved and underserved location broadband planning and pre-deployment activities across New Mexico. NTIA also funded a state digital equity planning grant dated December 1, 2022, completed March 29, 2024, and a digital equity implementation grant dated December 1, 2024, completing May 9, 2025.

Award activity has contracted in recent years—three awards in 2022, declining to one award in 2026—with only two awards (combined potential value $11 thousand) facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The vendor's combined potential value across all awards stands at $273 thousand, while combined obligated dollars total $754.9 million, reflecting large grant-funding flows from infrastructure and equity programs. NM DoIT received one sub-award from the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration in April 2023 for statewide education network nodes equipment upgrade. Across its federal portfolio, NM DoIT serves nine distinct customer agencies, concentrated in DEA contracting and NTIA grant work, with negligible exposure to other agencies.
