Health and Human Services Consulting and Support Services

The State of New Mexico Health Care Authority is establishing a Statewide Price Agreement (SWPA) for health and human services consulting and support services. The agreement is an indefinite‑quantity, “as‑needed, if‑needed” contract that any state agency may use to obtain consulting expertise in program design, policy compliance, strategic planning, program evaluation, stakeholder engagement, and training. Offerors must submit a technical proposal and a cost proposal that includes hourly rates for on‑site and off‑site work across junior, middle, and senior staff levels. The contract term is two years with one optional two‑year extension, and contractors must remit a 1 % administrative fee on quarterly sales. • Scope includes six broad consulting categories (program design, policy interpretation, strategic planning, evaluation, stakeholder engagement, training) plus numerous thematic areas such as Medicaid policy, behavioral health, data analytics, and actuarial services. • Pricing is hourly‑rate based; the State will pay no more than the maximum rate submitted, and all costs (labor, travel, profit, etc.) must be embedded in those rates. • Submission must be electronic‑only via the eProNM portal by 31 Aug 2026; required attachments include transmittal letter, response form, campaign contribution disclosure, and financial‑stability documentation. • The contract may be awarded to multiple firms; there is no guaranteed volume, but the agreement offers the potential for ongoing work across many state agencies.
