If you will be required to sign a software licensing agreement or sign any other agreement containing terms and conditions, which will be made part of the final Contract, you must receive prior approval from the Office of the Attorney General.

Describe the procurement process, strategy to promote competition and details about fair and reasonable price determination pursuant to R2-7-702

I have conducted research and determined no statewide solution is available for the goods / servcies.

SECTION III - Justification

Rationale

Page 2 of 3 SPO 101 - Competition Impracticable Authorization (rev 03-21)

Compliance with A.R.S. § 41 2533, 41 2534, 41 2538, or 41 2578 is impracticable

The BWCH Health Start Program utilizes community health workers to provide education, support, and advocacy services to pregnant/postpartum women and their families in targeted communities across the state. The community health workers live in and reflect the ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic characteristics of the communities they serve.

Families receive home visits and case management with oversight by nurses and social workers, through the enrolled child's second year of life. Pregnant women are connected to prenatal care providers and receive on-going education about fetal development and health behaviors that can impact birth outcomes. Mothers are screened for postpartum depression and receive information regarding inter-conception health. Clients are referred to various services as needed and assistance with accessing hose services. The community health workers educate parents about child development, immunizations, home safety and vehicle safety. The community health workers also screen each child on a periodic basis using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire to identify potential developmental delays and refer the family to the appropriate provider. Health Start community health workers acquire new skills and knowledge on an on-going basis to ensure they are providing the most accurate information.

Contract #CTR050597 for the BWCH Health Start Program with Mariposa Community Health Center is one (1) of fifteen

(15) contracts awarded under solicitation BPM002372 on July 6, 2020, with an expiration date of July 5, 2021 (and with an option to renew annually up to five (5) years). An Amendment to extend the Contract was sent to the Contractor for signature on June 3, 2021. ADHS received the Amendment back on June 21, 2021. Due to an oversight, the Amendment did not get finalized until July 7, 2021, leaving a two (2) day gap without a Contract in place.

As these services are still required, it is in the best interest of the State to approve this Gap CI to ensure any services provided during the two (2) day gap are covered. Pricing is considered fair and reasonable as pricing awarded+ under this Contract is not being changed.
