services to provide, enhance and implement a federally owned and certified or certifiable MMIS.
The District received one proposal from ACS State Healthcare, LLC (ACS). The proposal was
evaluated in accordance with the technical and price evaluation factors as described in the RFP, and
OCP awarded a multiyear contract for the period ofperformance from September 10, 2007 through
September 9, 2014. During that contract term, ACS changed its name to Xerox State Healthcare,
LLC (Xerox). On September 9, 2014, OCP issueda sole source extensionofthe contract for the
periodof September 10, 2014 through September 30, 2016 in the amount of $37,734,897. This
extension was for a period of two years and 21 days, and allowed for two additional one-year
options. OCP exercised the first option year for the period of October 1, 2016 through September
30, 2017, in the amountof $19,303,820. In June 2017, Xerox changed its name to Conduent State
Healthcare, LLC. Additionally, OCP exercised a partial exercise of option period two in the amount

system for the base period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019. The awardofthis sole
source procurement is required to ensure continuity and avoid interruption of the fee-for-service
delivery model for the Districts Medicaid enrollees until a long-term contract can be competitively
awarded. The interruption of these vital services would pose a major threat to the District and
jeopardize the health, welfare and safety of approximately 276,000 clients and 9,000 service
providers who utilize the Medicaid program for DC residents. The purpose of this contract
CW91987 in the amount of $26,940,539 is to provide operations and maintenance for the Districts
