UNM Hospital Dairy Products Supply Contract

The University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) entered a sole‑source agreement with Rasband Dairy to provide a full suite of dairy and related food‑service products for hospital food operations. The contract covers product sourcing, order fulfillment, scheduled deliveries, inventory support, and customer service for UNMH’s patient‑meal programs, coffee shop, and other on‑site food venues. The one‑year term runs from July 1 2026 to July 1 2027 with an option to renew under state law. The anticipated spend is between $60 K and $100 K, reflecting a modest but essential supply line for the hospital’s food‑service department. • Scope: dairy, milk, cream, beverage‑related dairy items, and related food‑service supplies. • Services: sourcing, fulfillment, delivery, inventory management, and ongoing customer support. • Vendor justification: Rasband’s established local delivery network, compatibility with UNMH’s ordering system, and historical performance make it the only feasible source. • Contract value: $60 K–$100 K, firm‑fixed‑price arrangement for a one‑year term with renewal possibility.
