All awards are firm‑fixed‑price, with extensive reporting and compliance requirements. • Total contract value ≈ $271,862 covering all seven awards. • Vendors are nonprofit/community‑action groups that already manage AmeriCorps Seniors services in their respective counties. • Scope includes volunteer recruitment, placement, supervision, data reporting, and compliance with NM statutes and AmeriCorps guidelines.
