The University of New Mexico Hospital entered a sole‑source contract with Cerner Corporation to obtain professional services supporting its existing Cerner (Oracle Health) electronic health record environment. The $500 K, one‑year agreement (July 2026 – June 2027) covers a broad suite of consulting, implementation, optimization, training, and technical management services that must be performed by the vendor that created and maintains the Cerner platform. The contract is structured to allow work orders to be placed on a time‑and‑materials or fixed‑price basis throughout the term, with an optional renewal provision under state law.
• Scope includes regulatory compliance, system architecture, interface design, revenue‑cycle consulting, training, and project management specific to UNMH’s Cerner environment.
• Sole‑source justification cites proprietary technology and the need for vendor‑specific expertise; no other firms are considered eligible.
• The agreement is valued at $500,000 for a twelve‑month period, with potential renewal at the discretion of the hospital.
