Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Department of Public Health and Human Services, (DPHHS), is seeking contractors to provide Title X Family Planning Services across Montana. Region 4 includes the counties of Judith Basin, Fergus, Petroleum, Musselshell, Golden Valley, Sweetgrass, and Wheatland. Offerors may submit a response to more than one region. There are 11 regions in the State of Montana. 1. Data used for the allocation formula will be obtained from the Montana Family Planning Data System for the most recent 12-month period available. 2. Available Title X federal and state funds are allocated using a formula based on the following indicators: a. Community Need: 50% of available program funds are allocated according to the percentage of the estimated persons in need (defined as youth ages 12-17 and women ages 18-44 living below the federal poverty line) residing in the sub-recipient’s service area. For example, if the sub-recipient serves a geographic area containing 15% of those persons in need statewide, they would receive 15% of the program funds allotted. b. Clinic Volume: 40% of available program funds are allocated according to the percentage of sub-recipient’s clinic visits that were for clients who fall below 100% of the federal poverty level and/or who are uninsured. c. Performance: 10% of available program funds are allocated based on clinic performance. For example, if a clinic meets the program goal and/or is above the state median for a selected performance measure, they would receive an allocation for that performance measure. d. Clinic Resources: A sub-recipient’s allocation may be reduced in cases where the sub-recipient is maintaining a balance of program funds that exceeds six months of operating expenses. This cap ensures financial stability of the statewide program by enabling available program funding to be reallocated to sub-recipients with less financial resources. e. Maintenance: As funding allows, additional Title X dollars may be allocated so that no sub-recipient will have their Title X awards reduced by more than 10%. This cap ensures financial stability of the local program. Maintenance adjustments will not be applied to sub-recipients with excess funds (see item d above).
