About this file

This is a State Procurement Office (SPO) Form 101 Competition Impracticable Procurement Authorization for the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services (ADVS). The document involves the Arizona Coalition for Military Families (ACMF), the Governor's Office of Youth, Faith and Family (GOYFF), and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs providing a Suicide Mortality Review (SMR) Cooperative Agreement.

The procurement is for veteran suicide prevention services, specifically establishing and sustaining Suicide Mortality Review Committees (SMRCs) in Arizona, with a focus on lethal means safety education and training. The contract is for a 12-month term expiring on June 30, 2026, with an estimated cost of $343,000. ACMF was selected as a sub-recipient through an Interagency Service Agreement (ISA) between GOYFF and ADVS, with ACMF providing documentation for cost reimbursement without markup. The procurement is deemed competition impracticable due to the specific nature of the collaborative agreement and the unique role of ACMF in the veteran suicide prevention initiative.

SECTION III - Justification

12. Rationale

13. Provide details of the procurement need, reason for the competition impracticable, and how the proposed procurement is advantageous to the State

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a Suicide Mortality Review (SMR) Cooperative Agreement to the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family (GOYFF) for $575,000. GOYFF selected The Arizona Coalition for Military Families (ACMF) to partner with GOYFF, Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services (ADVS), and Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) to provide Suicide Mortality Review and Postvention Services to Arizona Veterans. This initiative is part of the larger veteran suicide prevention effort that the partners are engaged in at the state level. As part of the SMR Cooperative Agreement and through an Interagency Service Agreement (ISA) between ADVS and GOYFF, ADVS' is responsible for monitoring and overseeing ACMF veterans suicide mortality review and reimbursing ACMF for costs incurred. ADVS is also responsible for submitting expenditure and programmatic reports to the State of Arizona Office of the Governor (GVA) for reimbursement. ADVS will receive $27,500 of the $575,000 in administrative fees for these tasks.

A contract with ACMF will support implementation of the Suicide Mortality Review initiative.

Compliance with A.R.S. §§ 412533, 412534, 412538, or 412578 is impracticable

14. Describe the procurement process, strategy to promote competition, and determination that the price is fair and reasonable

15. I have conducted research and determined that no mandatory state contract is available for the service(s)/material(s)

16. If needed, I have attached additional documents/clarifications/explanations to the request

17. Signature 18. Date of Request

In accordance with the Procurement Rules, the Arizona Uniform Terms and Conditions must be made a part of all Contracts. If you will be required to sign a software licensing agreement or sign any other agreement containing terms and conditions, these will need additional review to ensure that the terms and conditions do not invalidate the Arizona Uniform Terms and Conditions. Approval of this request does not allow for agencies to exceed their dollar acquisition amount of delegated authority.

GOYFF selected ADVS as a grantee through an ISA to provide funding to support the implementation and operation of the Arizona Veteran Suicide Mortality Review Team. ACMF was selected by GOYFF as ADVS' subrecipient; therefore competition to source a contractor is impracticable. ACMF will provide documentation to identify expenditures and request cost reimbursement, there is no mark up.
