UPDATE
ON UCS RFA
The following
will be on the
VESID UCS
website Monday,
June 13th. This
is an advance
copy.
UCS contracts
are currently in
process. Given
the large volume
of contracts, it
is unlikely that
any contracts
will be in place
by July 1, 2005.
All parties
involved in this
process agree
that VESID
services must
continue.
Accordingly, the
following steps
are being taken:
-
For UCS RFA
applicants
who are
current UCS
contract
agencies and
will be
awarded new
contracts -
A letter is
being sent
next week
which
informs
these
applicants
which UCS
services
they may
continue
past
6/30/05. The
letter will
specify the
new UCS
rates and
all of the
approved
services to
be included
in the new
contracts.
-
For UCS RFA
applicants
who are
current
providers
not under a
UCS
contract and
who will be
awarded a
contract -
We are
determining
the specific
method for
continuing
these
services and
will contact
providers
within the
next
several
days.
-
For UCS RFA
applicants
who are not
current
providers
but who will
be awarded a
contract -
Award
letters will
be issued as
soon as
contracts
are
approved.
Although the
start date
of the
contracts
will be
7/1/05, the
actual
start-date
of services
will be
determined
by the date
of contract
approval and
the
start-date
of
authorizations.
