SCOPE OF WORK 
 
1. 
BACKGROUND 
 
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Bureau of Nutrition and Physical Activity (BNPA) administers 
funds provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the operation of the Special Supplemental 
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program (BFPC) for 
the State of Arizona. The USDA nutrition programs are discretionary, and each provides a specific service to women, 
infants, and children who are low income and at nutrition risk. The overall goal of all the USDA Nutrition Programs is 
to improve the health status of eligible participants through adoption of healthy behavioral lifestyle changes and to 
help prevent the occurrence of health problems.  
 
1.1. 
WIC Nutrition Services 
 
1.1.1. 
The WIC Program accomplishes this goal by providing participant-centered services (PCS) 
including nutrition and breastfeeding information and support, specific supplemental healthy foods 
through the issuance of food benefits that can be used at ADHS-approved grocery stores and 
farmers’ markets, and referrals to other health and human services as an adjunct to good health 
care during critical times of growth and development. Service population eligibility for the WIC 
Program is based upon federal regulations such as participant category (pregnant and 
breastfeeding woman, infant or child under five years of age), a household income at or below 
185% of federal poverty guidelines, residence within the service area, and nutrition risks. 
 
1.1.2. 
To be considered as a WIC Local Agency, the organization must be a local public or private non-
profit organization, County health department, or tribal entity under contract with ADHS to provide 
WIC services according to the WIC Program federal regulations and state policies and procedures. 
The State awards a WIC Contract based on the ability of the organization to provide WIC services, 
potentially eligible population, need, response to the Scope of Work, information technology 
capacity, and available funds. The State determines and awards the WIC contract amount based 
on a funding formula using several factors such as a base level for a program to function, the 
amount of caseload negotiated with each Local Agency, and quality of performance. 
 
1.1.1.1 
Specific objectives for nutrition services (based on Healthy People 2020 goals) are: 
 
1.1.1.1.1 
To increase the incidence of breastfeeding to eighty-two percent (82%) of 
women initiating breastfeeding; 
 
1.1.1.1.2 
To increase the duration of breastfeeding to sixty-one percent (61%) of 
women breastfeeding for the first six (6) months of their baby’s life; 
 
1.1.1.1.3 
To increase the duration of breastfeeding to thirty-four percent (34%) of 
women breastfeeding for the first year of their baby’s life; 
 
1.1.1.1.4 
To increase the rate infants are exclusively breastfed to forty-four percent 
(44%) at three (3) months and twenty-four percent (24%) at six months; 
 
1.1.1.1.5 
To reduce the proportion of adults who are considered obese to thirty-one 
percent (31%); 
 
1.1.1.1.6 
To reduce the proportion of children ages two (2) to five (5) who are 
considered obese to ten percent (10%); 
 
1.1.1.1.7 
To increase the consumption and variety of fruits and vegetables by those 
two (2) and older;

To increase the consumption of whole grains by those two (2) and older; 
and 
 
1.1.1.1.9 
To increase the proportion of children ages zero (0) to two (2) who view no 
television or videos on an average day to forty-five percent (45%). 
 
1.2. 
Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) 
 
1.2.1. 
In 2003, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) entered into a cooperative agreement with 
Best Start Social Marketing (Best Start) to gather information to obtain a clear understanding of the 
components that are necessary to sustain effective peer counseling programs and how to structure 
these programs so they are cost effective and manageable. They developed the program "Using 
Loving Support to Implement Best Practices in Peer Counseling", which is a training and technical 
assistance project that will be used as a model to aid WIC in designing, building, maintaining, and 
sustaining peer counseling programs that will improve breastfeeding initiation and duration rates. 
Arizona will be using this program to guide and develop the state peer counseling program. 
 
1.2.2. 
The discretionary peer counseling services are considered an adjunct support to WIC breastfeeding 
services to help achieve the WIC Nutrition Services objectives regarding breastfeeding. 
 
1.2.3. 
Peer counseling has been a significant factor in improving initiation and duration rates of 
breastfeeding among women in a variety of settings, including disadvantaged and WIC populations 
representing diverse cultural backgrounds and geographical locations. Peer counselors are 
especially effective in communities where role models for breastfeeding behaviors, knowledgeable 
health care providers, and cultural practices that include breastfeeding as the norm, are scarce. 
Combining peer counseling with the ongoing WIC breastfeeding promotion and support efforts has 
the potential to significantly impact breastfeeding rates among WIC participants, and most 
significantly, increase the harder to achieve breastfeeding duration rates. WIC Local Agencies are 
strongly encouraged to provide peer counseling services in addition to the ongoing breastfeeding 
support to their WIC participants. Contractors must provide a breastfeeding friendly environment 
and have policies to accommodate participants and staff who are breastfeeding. 
 
2. 
OBJECTIVE 
 
At a minimum, to provide WIC services while allowing each Local Agency to provide, at their discretion, 
Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Services. 
 
3.
