About this file
This file is an email correspondence between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and JPMA, Inc. regarding a contract extension request for the Colorado WIC Shoppers App mobile application. CDPHE requested a one-year sole-source contract extension from March 1, 2027, through February 29, 2028, to bridge the gap until implementation of a new Management Information System (MIS) with an integrated participant mobile app scheduled for December 2027. The current contract with JPMA expires on February 28, 2027. JPMA, a Colorado-based company that has served the Colorado WIC population for nearly 12 years, agreed to execute the one-year extension and provided pricing options for the extension period.
JPMA proposed two pricing options for the extension year: $4,172 per month (reflecting a 3% increase from the rate unchanged since 2021) or $4,050 per month (the frozen rate) at the vendor's discretion to facilitate the sole-source approval process. The extension is necessary because Colorado WIC recently procured a new MIS solution that includes its own participant mobile app, which will become the required platform upon implementation. Colorado State procurement rules typically require service rebidding every five years; however, the state can file a sole-source extension request with the state controller's office under extenuating circumstances. JPMA's flexibility on pricing and commitment to ensure a smooth transition to the new system demonstrate vendor cooperation with the state's procurement requirements and strategic IT transition planning.

Hi Katy, Thank you for your email and we are incredibly saddened to hear that Colorado WIC will be adopting a different solution. But of course, we will support you in any way possible and are happy to execute a sole-source one-year extension as you requested.
I believe we have not adjusted our cost to Colorado since 2021, and had planned for a 3% increase for 2027. For Colorado, this would be $122 increase for $4,172/month. If that complicates your process for sole source, we are happy to keep our cost frozen at $4,050/month.
As a Colorado company, we have appreciated serving the Colorado WIC population for nearly 12 years! We look forward to continued service in 2027 and will do all we can to ensure a smooth transition to your new solution.
Thank you, Ryan Magee

Ryan, The Colorado WIC program has enjoyed working with JPMA over the past few years to provide your mobile shopping application to our WIC participants.
This product has been fantastic in helping our participants with their shopping experience and we have appreciated your help and expertise.
As you may know, the Colorado WIC program recently issued a procurement for a new Management Information System (MIS). The system we selected and are contracting with includes its own participant mobile app, and we are required to use that app upon implementation. We anticipate implementing that new system in December, 2027.
Our current contract with you expires on February 28, 2027. Colorado State procurement rules require us to bid for services every five years. However, we have the option to file a sole source extension request with our state controller's office if there are extenuating circumstances surrounding the current contract to maintain the contract with you for one additional year through February 29, 2028.

Would JPMA be open to that one year extension if we were able to get approved? If so, what rate do you anticipate charging for that last year of service?
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
