Awarded vendors
- Ascent Aviation Group Inc. (World Fuel Services)
Description
The New Mexico Spaceport Authority entered into a 12‑month sole‑source contract valued at $28,415 to obtain comprehensive support for its aviation fuel farm. The contract bundles hardware maintenance, fuel‑truck servicing, on‑site training, and proprietary software monitoring/support, all provided by a single vendor that owns the software and originally supplied the equipment.
• Annual fuel‑farm hardware maintenance (meter calibrations, filter replacements, full inspection).
• Bi‑annual maintenance of two fuel‑truck units (oil changes, filter work, brake inspection, preventive‑maintenance checks).
• Two‑day on‑site training for airport personnel on fuel handling procedures.
• Ongoing support for the proprietary TCS fuel‑farm software and QT POD point‑of‑sale software.
The justification for the sole‑source award rests on the proprietary nature of the software and the integrated hardware‑software system, which makes the vendor the only entity capable of delivering all required services under one contract.
