The contract covers three primary programs: Family Connections (FC), Nurturing Parenting Program (NPP), and Substance Exposed Newborn Safe Environment (SENSE). These services aim to strengthen family protective factors, reduce child abuse risks, and enhance parental capacities through evidence-based skill-building interventions. Contractors will deliver services through home visits, parenting education, and comprehensive family assessments, with case rates ranging from $3,500 to $6,750 depending on service type, urban or rural location, and oversight level.

The master agreement is awarded to Intermountain Centers for Human Development, Inc. and covers the state of Arizona, with a contract period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2026, through multiple amendments. The contract is structured as a master agreement with multiple service components, providing flexible delivery of family support services across urban counties (Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima) and rural counties. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the IDV includes comprehensive insurance coverage with liability limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $5,000,000 in umbrella liability, and professional liability coverage. The contract type allows for ongoing service delivery with the ability to modify and extend service provisions through formal amendments.
