The agreement covers 12 months of service, beginning August 1 2026 and ending July 31 2027, with an estimated value of approximately $180 k.
• Scope: Access to Accelerated Reader, Adaptive Assessments, literacy‑development analytics, and integrated instructional resources.
• Rationale: Proprietary technology, continuity with existing district systems, and lack of comparable alternatives.
• Procurement Type: Sole Source under New Mexico statutes; no competitive bidding required.
