Sole Source Determination – Santa Fe Business Incubator 2025

This sole‑source contract authorizes Santa Fe County to engage the Santa Fe Business Incubator (SFBI) to design and operate a business‑outreach pilot program for two rural communities—one in the northern part of the county and one in the southern/south‑central part. The $25,000 award requires SFBI to identify the target communities, hold public meetings, provide one‑on‑one consultations, organize growth sessions, follow‑up with participants, publicize successes, and deliver both a written report and an oral presentation to the Board of County Commissioners. The effort aims to foster creation, retention, and expansion of small businesses in underserved areas, with outcomes measured through surveys and final reporting. • Scope includes community engagement, customized program design, technical assistance, and final reporting/presentation. • Deliverables are narrative‑based with no fixed calendar milestones; the only fixed date is the determination signing (Feb 28 2025). • Funding is a single lump‑sum amount of $25,000, paid to the incumbent incubator under a sole‑source procurement authority (NMSA 1978 §13‑1‑126).
