DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, Part C Early Intervention Services 
Grant Under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C Early Intervention 
Services One-Time Noncompetitive Award to Ensure Continued HIV Primary 
Medical Care.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: To prevent a lapse in comprehensive primary care services for 
persons living with HIV/AIDS, HRSA will provide a one-time 
noncompetitive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C funds award to the 
Bartz-Altadonna Community Health Center (BACHC), Lancaster, California.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The amount of the award to ensure ongoing 
HIV medical services is $402,187.

    Authority: Section 2651 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 
42 U.S.C. 300ff-51.

    CFDA Number: 93.918.
    Project period: The period of support for this award is 15 months, 
explained below in further detail.
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: The Catalyst 
Foundation, Lancaster, California (Grant Number: H76HA00784) announced 
the relinquishment of their Part C grant on February 14, 2013. To 
prevent a lapse in HIV medical care, grant funds of $402,187 are to be 
awarded to BACHC to provide interim HIV medical care. BACHC is a 
Federally Qualified Health Center under section 330 of the PHS Act 
(H80CS22686), and the sub-grantee to Catalyst that is already providing 
the clinical care for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part C clients. 
The Catalyst Foundation has identified BACHC as a successor for the 
Part C grant. The $402,187 represents a proportional share of the last 
award to the Catalyst Foundation to cover 15 months of HIV primary 
medical care services until the service area is competed by July 1, 
2014.
