United Way of Santa Fe County was the single respondent to the RFP and was found to be the only qualified “Local Champion” to provide the program to the County. In 2020, United Way of Santa Fe County branched out to become now Growing Up New Mexico to provide the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for Santa Fe County Residence. The County Community Services wish to continue benefiting from the services provided with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program, and request a sole source determination to enter into contract with Growing Up New Mexico to provide the program to the County. DETERMINATION: In searching sources on the internet for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program, it was found that the Growing Up New Mexico was the only organization that has the capability and capacity to meet the requirements that are specific to this program and the administration of the program. 102 Grant Avenue · P.O.
