This contract awards the University of New Mexico Hospital a three‑year subscription and implementation package for Microsoft PowerShare Hosted Services, a cloud‑based platform that enables secure exchange of diagnostic imaging studies and radiology reports. Nuance Communications, Inc. will supply the hosted environment, implementation, professional services, ongoing maintenance, technical support, and training. The sole‑source justification cites the proprietary nature of the PowerShare platform and its required integration with UNMH’s existing PowerScribe radiology system.
• Total contract value: $124,000 (approximately $39,600 per year for hosted services plus a $6,000 one‑time professional‑services fee).
• Scope includes cloud hosting, system integration, workflow analysis, project management, SSO configuration, testing, training, and post‑deployment support.
• Contract term: 3 years, with a renewal option governed by New Mexico state procurement statutes.
