Senior Volunteer Services

This contract awards the State of New Mexico’s Aging & Long‑Term Services Department a $1.74 million, fixed‑price, 12‑month professional‑services agreement to administer four senior‑focused volunteer programs (Foster Grandparent, Senior Companion, Care Companion, and RSVP). The work is performed by eight pre‑approved AmeriCorps‑designated nonprofit organizations that will recruit, place, train, and supervise volunteers, meet volunteer‑service‑year (VSY) and hour targets, and submit extensive quarterly and semi‑annual reports. The agency retains oversight authority, audit rights, and strict financial controls. • Scope includes recruitment, placement, training, compliance, reporting, and record‑keeping for volunteer services statewide. • Funding is a blend of state appropriations and a federal AmeriCorps Seniors grant, with a total contract value of $1,739,719. • Performance metrics require 100 % of VSY targets, ≥ 75 % volunteer retention, and ≥ 75 % satisfaction on bi‑annual surveys.
