College Entrance Examination Board - Sole Source Pre-Award

The university is seeking a sole‑source vendor to provide student‑lead data derived from SAT test‑takers for undergraduate admissions outreach. The contract is valued at $56,500 and will run for one year, from July 1 2026 to June 30 2027. Because the College Board is the exclusive holder of this dataset, the solicitation is a pre‑award sole‑source justification, allowing any vendor who can demonstrate an equivalent data source to submit a written challenge by June 23 2026. If no challenge is filed, the award will proceed under the sole‑source justification. • Scope: Delivery of SAT‑derived prospective student contact information for marketing/recruitment purposes. • Budget: $56,500 (contract value). • Term: 12‑month service period (July 2026 – June 2027). • Competition: Only a written challenge is allowed; otherwise the College Board is the sole provider. • Submission window: Bids/acceptance from August 6 to August 7 2026 (sealed until August 7). • Contact: Cole Collins, Purchasing Office, New Mexico State University ([email protected], (575) 914‑3744).
