The State of Montana, through the State Procurement Services Division on behalf of the Montana Board of Public Education (BPE), is soliciting proposals for development and implementation of a standardized, secure and efficient platform for gathering information from Montana public charter schools.
Opportunity: Public Charter School Dashboard, BPE-RFP-2026-0009AB.
Schedule: the RFP opened July 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT and proposals close September 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT.
Scope: the selected contractor is expected to build a single comprehensive dashboard for standardized charter-school data entry, collection and reporting, with a secure and user-friendly platform plus ongoing maintenance and support. Public solicitation summaries state that cost proposals must address total project cost, initial costs, potential future enhancements/additional features and ongoing maintenance. Contract performance is expected to run through July 31, 2027.
Funding/value: the controlling public procurement listing does not disclose a contract value. Atlas does not use third-party AI budget estimates as an official value.
Vendor requirements: offerors must satisfy the RFP mandatory requirements and submit the required Business Information, Scope of Services, Cost Proposal and Offeror Qualifications materials. Public procurement summaries also identify prerequisites concerning conflict of interest, vendor registration, insurance, contract exceptions, nondiscrimination, equal-pay requirements and AI disclosure. Confidential material must be handled under the solicitation’s trade-secret/confidential-information procedures, including the applicable affidavit/redacted-copy requirements when confidentiality is asserted.
Submission and registration: responses are submitted through Montana eMACS/JAGGAER. The State’s official eMACS portal requires vendor login or free vendor registration to access the sourcing event and submit a response. The official event is identified internally by JAGGAER Event ID 1403763.
Procurement contact: Amanda Battin, Amanda.Battin2@mt.gov, 406-444-9665.
Addenda/Q&A: no separate amendment, addendum or public Q&A changing the September 15 deadline surfaced in the accessible public procurement index during the September 11, 2026 verification. Respondents should re-check the controlling eMACS event immediately before submission because the detailed event requires vendor login.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 70/100. This is a live statewide K-12/public-charter procurement with a defined deliverable, secure-data platform scope and clear deadline, but it is specialized software development rather than a healthcare or clinical-technology procurement.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The verified scope does not establish telehealth, remote physical examination, clinical encounter or medical-device functionality.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. No verified healthcare-equipment or clinical-services scope is present.
Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100 based on currently verified qualifications. Atlas has no basis to represent Dr. Miltie, LLC as a qualified charter-school dashboard software developer, systems integrator or SaaS maintenance provider. No response should be advanced without independently verified applicable qualifications.
