The University of New Mexico Hospital is issuing a notice of intent for a sole-source purchase from Parity Healthcare Analytics in the amount of 280,000 dollars for a software license renewal. The contract covers the period from October 15, 2026, through October 15, 2027, providing a proprietary nurse workforce decision intelligence platform specifically designed for the women's service line. This standalone cloud-based tool is uniquely qualified because it has AWHONN staffing standards built directly into the system, whereas alternative staffing and acuity tools either lack these standards or require complex integration into the electronic medical record. This procurement is being pursued as a sole-source acquisition under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-126 to ensure the continuity of historical clinical and workforce data and to maintain compatibility with existing workflows established in December 2023. While the intent is to purchase from Parity Healthcare Analytics due to the proprietary nature of the software, the contract is not yet executed, and alternative sources may be submitted within 15 calendar days. The solicitation is identified by number 70-H6901-26-CP435.
