Executive Advisory and Consulting Services for Strategic and Vision Plan Development

The contract involves a sole source engagement between the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center and Theo Transformation Advisory to provide executive advisory and consulting services focused on developing and executing a strategic and vision plan. This effort is critical for supporting the center’s upcoming National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation renewal, with a firm deadline of September 25, 2025. The scope emphasizes direct, high-level sessions with the center’s leadership, including the Director and CEO, to facilitate organizational transformation, strategic alignment, and preparation for federal review processes. The total contractual amount is approximately $190,000, reflecting a fixed-price, single engagement without specified options or modifications. The procurement is justified as a sole source based on the vendor’s unique experience with NCI centers, prior successful collaborations, and the urgent timeline, with no competitive proposals solicited or evaluated. Regarding contractual clauses and regulatory references, the documentation indicates governance under New Mexico procurement law and UNM purchasing procedures, with no explicit federal or state contract clauses, terms, or standard provisions incorporated. The contract does not specify any attachments, exhibits, or supporting materials, nor does it include detailed inspection, acceptance, packaging, or labeling requirements, as the services are purely advisory. Administrative details identify the vendor’s remittance address, primary contacts, and the total cost, but lack specific invoicing procedures or performance metrics. The procurement process centers on a sole source justification, emphasizing the vendor’s specialized expertise, with no formal proposal submission instructions, page limits, or technical standards outlined, reflecting the nature of a non-competitive, internally justified engagement aligned with federal and state deadlines.
