• Contract terms: Base 4‑year term, possible 2‑year extension, performance bond, health‑coverage requirements for employees if contract >$250 K, and campaign‑contribution disclosure for contracts >$60 K.
• Evaluation factors: Experience, technical compliance, financial stability, bonding, cost, and potential New Mexico resident preference weighting.
