Support Coordination External

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued an Invitation for Applications (IFA) numbered DHHS91258 for Support Coordination-External services within Home and Community-Based Service (HCBS) Waiver programs. This procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide support coordination services for Medicaid-eligible individuals who require assistance in selecting and obtaining home and community-based services. The primary objective is to help participants lead self-determined lives by ensuring their health, safety, and access to necessary supports. Support coordinators will be responsible for connecting waiver-eligible persons with both Medicaid and non-Medicaid services, with a focus on facilitating comprehensive care and individual autonomy. The solicitation indicates that all qualified vendors will potentially receive contracts, with responses to be submitted outside of the U3P system according to specific instructions in the IFA document. The procurement was posted on May 6, 2025, with a final due date of December 30, 2037, providing an extensive window for potential vendors to prepare and submit their applications.

The solicitation appears to be open to multiple vendors without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The HCBS Waiver program is federally approved under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, Section 1915(c), suggesting potential federal compliance requirements for interested vendors. While specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed in the current information, the procurement is structured to potentially engage multiple support coordination providers across Utah's Medicaid system. The comprehensive nature of the solicitation indicates a desire for robust, flexible support coordination services that can adapt to individual participant needs. Vendors will likely need to demonstrate expertise in Medicaid waiver programs, comprehensive case management, and the ability to support individuals in accessing a wide range of health and community services. The extended timeline from 2025 to 2037 suggests a long-term commitment to establishing a stable network of support coordination providers.
