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, involving 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 document seeks authorization for AzEIP Team-Based Early Intervention Services contracts for a one (1) year and nine (9) month term from July 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026, with an estimated cost of $49,000,000. The procurement is related to the Arizona Early Intervention Program's requirement to perform a rate rebase study and implement new contracts. The rates are set by the State and based on a Rebase Study, with plans to potentially transition to a capitalized rate model. The current objective is to approve Direct Contracts with existing Early Intervention Service contractors to avoid disruption of services for children and families, while also working on revising the Scope of Work, Policies, and Procedures in preparation for a new RFP to be released in 2026.
