String Pinsetters Bowling System Sole Source Purchase

The State of New Mexico, Luna County, is seeking to purchase a String Pinsetters Bowling System through a sole source procurement. The system is intended for the Starmax Entertainment Complex bowling alley and must be compatible with the existing infrastructure. The county has determined that QubicaAMF is the only vendor capable of meeting the operational, technical, and system requirements without incurring substantial additional costs. The project consists of upgrading existing QubicaAMF 82-90XL free fall Pinsetters to the QubicaAMF EDGE String Pinsetters while maintaining USBC Certification. Key points to consider: • The proposed EDGE equipment would not require any modifications to the entertainment center and will work with all of the existing electrical components. • QubicaAMF EDGE pinsetters are fully compatible with current lane beds, pin decks, and ball return systems. • The system must integrate with the existing Point of Sale system, Square, to ensure a single, unified system of records and lane usage. • Procuring equipment from another manufacturer would necessitate significant structural changes and replacements of systems already in place, causing logistical and operational inefficiencies.
