This document is a Competition Impracticable Procurement Authorization form from the Arizona Department of Administration's State Procurement Office. The request is submitted by Ena Binns from ADES/OOD/AzEIP (Arizona Early Intervention Program) and involves 9 contractors: Arizona Cooperative Therapies, Dynamite Therapy LLC, Essential Therapy Solutions LLC, Hummingbird Early Intervention Services LLC, Northland Therapy Services Inc, Northland Rural Therapy Associates, RISE Early Intervention LLC, Root for Kids, and Sunrise Therapy Services Inc.

The contract is for AzEIP Team-Based Early Intervention Services, with a requested term from July 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 and an estimated cost of $49,000,000. The procurement is driven by a requirement to perform a rate rebase study every five years, with the most recent study completed in 2019. The current process involves revising the Scope of Work, AzEIP Policies and Procedures, and transition services, with plans to promote competition by issuing a new RFP for Early Intervention Services in 2026. The rates are set by the State and based on the Rebase Study, and the authorization aims to avoid service disruption for children and families by maintaining continuity with current Early Intervention Service contractors.
