PITNEY BOWES GLOBAL FINANCIAL-SOLE SOURCE PRE-AWARD

The New Mexico State University Purchasing Office is issuing a sole‑source pre‑award solicitation for a postage‑meter lease (and associated service) from Pitney Bowes Global Financial. The university needs to maintain uninterrupted first‑class mail capability after the previous provider discontinued service.
