- Bardacke Allison Miller, LLP
Description
The State of New Mexico’s Secretary of State office awarded a sole‑source contract to Bardacke Allison Miller, LLP for comprehensive legal representation in a federal election‑law case (New Mexico Forward Party v. Maggie Toulouse Oliver). The firm will handle all aspects of the litigation, from pleadings and motions to discovery, trial, and any appeals, under a not‑to‑exceed limit of $225,000 (pre‑tax). The engagement is justified by the contractor’s unique expertise and continuity of work already performed under a prior short‑term contract.
• Scope: Full legal services for a specific federal case, including counsel, drafting, hearings, and appeals.
• Term: Approximately 22 months (Aug 2026 – Jun 2028) with a $225k ceiling.
• Sole‑source rationale: Only this firm possesses the existing case knowledge and privileged work product; replacement would cause duplication, delays, and higher costs.
