The proposed Modification No. M0019 to Contract No. CW94253 with Avid Systems, LLC seeks to exercise option year four of the contract, allowing Avid to continue providing temporary personnel resources as subject matter experts and advisors to the Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) Medicaid director and the DHCF director of healthcare operations. The modification is set for the period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $1,800,768. This contract modification is part of a series of option periods that have been previously approved by the Council, with the base period and three prior option periods totaling different amounts.

The contract modification is supported by a certification from the Department of Health Care Finance that the funding is available within the appropriated budget authority for the fiscal year. Additionally, the Citywide Clean Hands database confirms that Avid Systems, LLC is current with its District taxes, ensuring compliance with local regulations. The modification reflects the administrative changes necessary to extend the contract while maintaining all other terms and conditions unchanged.
