Justification for the Exception to Competition

    The former grantee, Unadilla Health Care Center, Inc. (UnaHealth), 
notified HRSA that it was unable to carry out the administrative and 
programmatic requirements to appropriately manage the grant funds and 
indicated that it would be relinquishing the grant funds. UnaHealth is 
unable to provide the necessary primary health care services in Dooly 
County, Georgia, to the more than 3,000 low income, underserved and 
uninsured individuals in the service area.
    Albany Area Primary Health Care, Inc. (AAPHC) is an experienced 
provider of care and has a demonstrated record of compliance with the 
Health Center Program statutory and regulatory requirements and is 
located in the same geographical area. AAPHC will provide services to 
the residents of Dooly County at a site proximate to UnaHealth's 
current location. Community support for this transfer is demonstrated 
by letters of support from three other existing section 330 grantees in 
the service area, as well as a letter of support from the local Primary 
Care Association.
    This underserved target population has an immediate need for vital 
primary health care services and would be negatively impacted by any 
delay or disruption of services caused by a competition. As a result, 
in order to ensure that critical primary health care services remain 
available to the original target population without disruption, this 
replacement award will not be competed.
