SERVICES

The City of Farmington, New Mexico is conducting a sole source procurement for a Joint Intervention Program Provider within San Juan County. The procurement seeks to award a five-year contract to Presbyterian Medical Services (PMS) Totah Behavioral Health for a comprehensive substance abuse and support services program. The scope of services includes housing services, intense case management, outpatient substance abuse treatment, psychiatric care, dental and primary medical care, and a discharge program. Vendors interested in challenging the sole source determination must submit evidence through the city's online bidding platform by June 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. The services will utilize evidence-based treatment interventions such as Motivational Interviewing, Community Reinforcement Approach, Community Reinforcement Approach Family Training, and Seeking Safety. Qualified providers must demonstrate expertise in integrating law enforcement, courts, and medical providers into a unified intervention strategy.

The procurement appears to be specifically targeted to Presbyterian Medical Services, with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. PMS has an existing Intergovernmental Agreement with San Juan Regional Medical Center for the Joint Intervention Program and Sobering Program, which strengthens their position as the sole source provider. The contract has an estimated annual expenditure of $300,000, with a total potential five-year value of $1.5 million. The sole source justification is predicated on PMS's established protocols, existing intergovernmental relationships, and proven ability to provide specialized detox and intervention services. The contract leverages PMS's previous experience as the Joint Intervention Program Provider during a pilot program, during which they developed specialized service integration protocols.
