New Mexico Administrative Code
Title 1 - GENERAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 4 - STATE PROCUREMENT
Part 1 - PROCUREMENT CODE REGULATIONS
Section 1.4.1.66 - LIMITATION ON SUBSECTION A OF 1.4.1.65 OF THIS RULE RELATING TO GSA CONTRACTS

It should be understood, the state is not authorized to utilize a GSA contract per se. It is imperative, therefore, that the contractor, not a dealer or distributor, who has a current GSA contract indicate in writing a willingness to extend the contract's pricing, terms and conditions to the state of New Mexico. Therefore, a state agency shall not procure services, construction or items of tangible personal property directly under a general services administration (GSA) contract. Rather, a state agency must procure pursuant to a state purchasing agent price agreement which reflects the prices, terms and conditions of the respective GSA contract. If no such state purchasing agent price agreement exists, a state agency may make a written request to the state purchasing agent for the issuance of one. The request must be accompanied by a current copy of the applicable GSA contract, a letter from the contractor expressing a willingness to extend the contract's pricing, terms and conditions to the state of New Mexico and a letter from the state agency indicating a commitment to utilize the price agreement. The state purchasing agent will ascertain whether it is current and whether the proposed price is equal to or less than the federal supply contract price. If everything is in order, the state purchasing agent will issue a price agreement or purchase order reflecting the prices, terms and conditions of the GSA contract. A state agency shall make no procurements from the GSA contractor until a state purchasing agent price agreement has been issued.
