Over the past month or so, the RTS team has met with industry leaders and operators to better understand the challenges they're facing with NMS2S. These conversations have provided valuable insight into what operators actually need and helped identify the improvements necessary to get the system where it needs to be.
Two recent releases introduce improvements to manifest creation, inventory visibility, printing, and third-party integrations.
What's Changed?
Manifest and transfer management: Version 1.2.10 introduces direct inventory additions, manifest templates, improved CSV exports, and filtering for active licensed destinations. The manifest interface has also been updated to support paginated data.
API functionality: The latest release adds application wrappers for 18 manifest actions and additional API functionality for room management, plant harvesting, curing, and destruction. Version 1.2.9 also introduced restrictions preventing production-room creation at retail locations.
Inventory improvements: Operators can now view total CBD and CBD-per-package information, including appropriate units for solid and liquid products. Eligible packaged inventory also supports changes to medical-use designation through Inventory Actions.
Printing: Label printing has been enabled from the sales floor and consumption room. Additional improvements include bulk product-name changes, updated CBD-per-package fields, and better alignment of inventory-table data with printed labels.
Dispensing: Inventory items can now appear on multiple dispensing lines when unit prices differ, while retaining available inventory limits.
Administrative improvements: CCD's API activity tool now supports up to 5,000 results, compared with the previous limit of 250. Support requests also have an encrypted-email alternative.
Regular Programming
Since New Mexico transitioned to NMS2S in September, the state has not resumed publishing its regular monthly industry sales figures, leaving operators and analysts without a familiar benchmark for tracking market performance.
The absence of updated reports has prompted speculation online, with some individuals pursuing the missing information through Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) requests. However, a representative of the New Mexico CCD has indicated that monthly sales reporting will return sooner rather than later.

Divorce Court
Metrc's legal challenge against the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (RLD) remains unresolved.
The case has now moved beyond the initial dispute over whether the state could proceed with its new tracking system. Metrc is challenging the completeness of the administrative record the court will use to evaluate the underlying procurement appeal.
On September 2ⁿᵈ, Judge Kathleen McGarry Ellenwood denied Metrc's application for a temporary restraining order and its motion to stay the agency's procurement decision.
That ruling allowed the state to continue its transition without the emergency restrictions Metrc requested. It did not resolve the underlying appeal.
The case continued through September, with a hearing scheduled to consider Metrc's statement of appellate issues.
On November 4ᵗʰ, the court held another motion hearing. That same day, Metrc filed a Motion to Defer Decision on the Merits and to Complete the Record on Appeal.
The docket also shows that Judge Ellenwood issued a procedural order following the hearing.
Higher Standards
According to Metrc's filing, the company was selected for an earlier tracking-system contract under RFP No. 25-665-7870-00001. RLD subsequently canceled that procurement.
A new solicitation followed, resulting in the award to RTS.
Metrc argues that the evaluation records from the original procurement are essential to understanding whether the second award complied with New Mexico's Procurement Code.
Metrc is asking the court to delay its decision until the administrative record is complete.
Its proposed schedule would require RLD to finish outstanding records production by November 25ᵗʰ, supplement the appeal record by December 16ᵗʰ, and allow Metrc to submit amended appellate arguments by January 15ᵗʰ, 2027.
