The Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, hereby publishes notice of intent to approve a sole source authorization for Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to purchase Evidence-based home visiting model support and data extraction from Nurse-Family Partnership National Service Office. The Nurse-Family Partnership (“NFP”) Program is an evidence-based nurse home visiting program. It serves low-income, first-time mothers and their children who face significant short- and long-term risks to their health, personal development, and economic wellbeing. Through regular visits from NFP-trained nurses, the NFP Program partners with these mothers during their first pregnancies and the first two years of their children’s lives to help them develop behaviors that enable them to have healthier pregnancies, be better parents, have emotionally and physically healthier children, and attain greater economic self-sufficiency. This verifies that Nurse-Family Partnership is the only organization permitted to provide implementation guidance and support of the NFP Program.
