Description
This emergency contract awards Windlark Studios, Inc. a $500,000, 90‑day fixed‑price engagement to produce rapid‑response multilingual communications for New Mexico Medicaid members. The work addresses two urgent policy changes: a new “medical‑frailty” exemption under a CMS work‑requirement rule, and the loss of federal Medicaid eligibility for certain non‑citizen residents effective October 1 2026. Deliverables include plain‑language web content, FAQs, scripts, and other digital assets that explain the new requirements and the transition to a state‑funded coverage program. The contract serves as a bridge until a longer‑term competitive procurement can be completed.
• Scope: Multilingual public‑education materials (digital/web, FAQs, scripts) on Medicaid work‑requirement and non‑citizen eligibility changes.
• Timeline: 08/25/2026 – 11/25/2026 (≤90 days) to meet CMS outreach windows (June 30‑Aug 31 2026) and the Oct 1 2026 eligibility shift.
• Funding: Fixed $500,000 ceiling; sole‑source award under NMSA 1978 § 13‑1‑127 emergency authority.
