Arizona Attorney Generals Office

The Arizona Attorney General's Office, Operations Division, is a state government entity registered with the federal government since April 2002 that provides a range of civil rights enforcement, investigative, and public safety services to federal agencies. The office delivers specialized services in fair housing and employment discrimination enforcement, Medicaid fraud investigation, drug trafficking reduction, and victim assistance programs. As Arizona's chief law enforcement agency, the Attorney General's Office serves the state's residents and supports federal objectives through investigations, prosecutions, and compliance activities.

Through federal contract awards, the Arizona Attorney General's Office has demonstrated substantial expertise in civil rights enforcement and fair employment practices. The office received a definitive contract from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with a ceiling value of $1,320,290.00 for Fiscal Year 2023, running through September 30, 2025, to provide Fair Employment Practices Assistance (FEPA) and conduct investigations of employment discrimination complaints throughout Arizona. This contract, awarded without small business set-aside designation, leverages the office's Civil Rights Division to process and investigate complaints related to unlawful employment practices. The contract demonstrates the office's long-standing partnership with federal civil rights agencies and its capacity to manage substantial caseloads involving sensitive employment discrimination matters at the state level.

Through federal grant awards, the Arizona Attorney General's Office has served as a prime grantee across multiple critical federal programs, including investigations, fraud control, drug enforcement, and fair housing initiatives. The office has consistently received Formula Grant awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the State Medicaid Fraud Control Units program (CFDA 93.775), with awards totaling approximately $1.4 million annually to investigate and prosecute Medicaid provider fraud and patient abuse or neglect in health facilities.
