Sole Source Determination – Oliver Packaging & Equipment Company (SpeedSeal CX Counter‑top Model 1308N)

Santa Fe County’s Health and Human Services Department requires consumable food‑service packaging (biodegradable trays, printed labels, and heat‑seal film) for its SpeedSeal CX Counter‑top Model 1308N sealing machine. Because the machine is uniquely compatible with Oliver Packaging’s products and county policy mandates compostable trays, the county performed a good‑faith market check and concluded that only Oliver Packaging could meet the technical and regulatory specifications, leading to a sole‑source determination under NMSA 1978 §13‑1‑126. The unit price is $1.94 per complete “unit” (tray + label + film). No total quantity or contract value is disclosed. • Agency: Santa Fe County HHS – Senior Services Division (NM). • Vendor: Oliver Packaging & Equipment Co., sole‑source award for biodegradable, heat‑seal‑compatible packaging. • Scope: Ongoing supply of food trays, labels, and sealant film to support home‑delivery meal program for seniors, meeting County Ordinance 2024‑06 and aging‑agency packaging standards.
