The proposed Modification No. M0009 to Contract No. CW103051 with Guardiantrac, LLC, doing business as GT Independence (GTI), seeks to exercise the third option year of the contract, which will run from October 17, 2025, to October 16, 2026. The modification allows for a not-to-exceed amount of $7,102,690 for GTI to continue providing essential financial management services, information and assistance services, and support broker services to Medicaid participants enrolled in the District of Columbia's Medicaid Home and Community-Based 1915 (c) Services Waiver program. This modification is part of an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract, which has seen previous option periods with varying amounts.

The contract modification is supported by a certification from the Department of Health Care Finance, confirming that the funding is available and consistent with the agency's budget for the fiscal year. Additionally, the Citywide Clean Hands database indicates that GTI is current with its District taxes, ensuring compliance with local regulations. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged, and the modification is intended to facilitate the continuation of services critical to the Medicaid program in the District.
