Key facts

  • Its $1,801,300 NMED contract was amended by $499,990, at the Secretary's direction, to host Apaluma as a subcontractor, per internal emails reported by The Candle.[1]
  • Its architect described Speridian taking “passive income from the upsold subcontracted services at a reasonable percentage.”[1]
  • A follow-on $977,354 contract required Keyes and Apaluma affiliates as its Key Staff at $125–130 an hour.[1]

The record

The IT contractor whose NMED deal became the vehicle: its $1.8M contract was amended at the Secretary's direction to host Apaluma as a subcontractor — taking, in its own architect's words, 'passive income from the upsold subcontracted services' — and its follow-on $977,354 contract was required to staff Keyes and Apaluma affiliates at $125–130 an hour.

The hearing has passed
The Watch stands.

The decision was due July 21. Instead: a public hearing — first set for October, then moved up to September 14 at the applicant’s request — and a ruling due by November 23. A $165B question for one desert county, on a schedule that keeps moving. The clock above always shows the next date that matters. Until the ruling, and after, this is the public watch on how it’s being made.
