Sole Source Determination – Public Consultant Group, LLC – Ambulance Supplemental Program Services (ASPP)

This contract awards Santa Fe County a sole‑source consulting engagement with Public Consultant Group, LLC to manage, implement, and report on the Ambulance Supplemental Payment Program (ASPP) for the County Fire Department and other New Mexico EMS providers. The vendor will prepare all documentation required by the New Mexico Health Care Authority (NMHCA), support negotiations with CMS and Managed Care Organizations, conduct stakeholder education, develop an online reporting portal, and submit cost reports on the county’s behalf. Compensation is strictly performance‑based: the vendor receives 14 % of the federal‑share portion of any ASPP reimbursements the County actually obtains. No fixed dollar amount or contract term is disclosed; the work is ongoing as long as ASPP payments are generated and reporting deadlines are met. • Scope covers regulatory compliance, Medicaid/Medicare supplemental‑payment strategy, stakeholder engagement, system development (ASCR portal), and training. • Payment is contingent on federal reimbursement (contingency‑fee model), aligning vendor incentives with successful claim submissions. • Sole‑source award justified by the vendor’s unique expertise in the ASPP and related EGAS initiatives; no competitive bidding was conducted.
