Area Agency on Aging of the Concho Valley (AAACV) utilizes a Direct Purchase of Service (DPS) process to establish and maintain a qualified pool of vendors to provide services for older adults within the region. The DPS process is a non-exclusive, application-based procurement method that allows AAACV to identify, evaluate, and approve service providers in advance of service delivery, ensuring timely access to needed services while maintaining compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Approved vendors in the DPS pool may be eligible to receive service authorizations or contracts as needs arise, subject to funding availability, program requirements, and satisfactory performance. Inclusion in the DPS vendor pool does not guarantee the award of work or a minimum level of services.

Interested contractors are encouraged to download the DPS Vendor Application Packet, which includes the application, required forms, certifications, and detailed instructions. Applicants must review all materials carefully and submit a complete application in accordance with the submission instructions and deadlines outlined in the packet. Incomplete or noncompliant applications may not be considered.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis unless otherwise stated. Questions regarding the DPS process or application requirements should be directed to the Procurement Department using the contact information provided in the application packet.
