Summed per provider from New Mexico's approved Final Proposal files, which total $381,968,078 and 42,651 locations, matching NTIA exactly. The state rescinded all 11 of Resound Networks' provisional awards ($57,674,784, 7,366 locations) on 2026-07-01, so they are not listed; the providers shown total $324,293,294 and 35,285 locations. Whether those areas have been re-awarded isn't published in these files. Provisional awards can change as the state finalizes agreements.
What it means for contractors
Fiber locations are the ones that turn into construction: underground and aerial placement, boring, splicing, drops, and restoration. The providers that won these areas build them, often with subcontractors. Check the New Mexico broadband office's BEAD page for the providers selected in each area. Those providers, and the primes they hire, are who to call about sub work.
