The Massachusetts State 911 Department has opened the FY27 Support and Incentive Grant. Applications must be received by December 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The current official materials reviewed do not separately publish a timezone for that deadline.
Official opportunity
Issuer: Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, State 911 Department.
COMMBUYS Bid ID: BD-26-1044-EPS90-1044E-125755.
The program supports Massachusetts public safety answering points and regional emergency communication centers in providing enhanced 9-1-1 service. Applications may be submitted by mail, hand delivery, or through COMMBUYS using the official Bid ID.
Eligibility
For the Support Grant, eligible applicants are primary public safety answering points, regional public safety answering points, regional secondary public safety answering points, and regional emergency communication centers. For the Incentive Grant, eligibility is limited to an existing regional public safety answering point or regional emergency communication center that is expanding.
Funding and cost controls
The official materials reviewed do not publish one universal overall applicant maximum or base allocation. Funding depends on the applicant and requested category. The FY27 application identifies category-specific support including mobile behavioral health crisis response services of up to $125,000 based on 2024 call volume, $2,000 per active Credentialed TERT team member, and a potential one-time increase for eligible annual maintenance costs of up to 60% of one annual maintenance contract, capped at $314,000.
No mandatory non-Federal match was identified in the current official materials reviewed. Applicants remain subject to category-specific grant requirements, reimbursement controls, and contract conditions.
Application requirements
The current application package requires compliance with applicable State 911 Department reporting and program conditions, including MassGIS reporting requirements and annual Continuity of Operations Plan requirements. The application includes a signed cover page, budget summary, applicable narratives, vendor quotes or estimates for specified equipment categories, and category-specific appendices and contracting forms. Regional PSAP and RECC applicants may have additional radio-system, budget, organizational-chart, capital-budget, and annual-maintenance documentation requirements.
Applicants should use only the current FY27 Guidelines and FY27 Application and verify every category-specific requirement before submission.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 74/100. This is a legitimate Massachusetts public-safety funding opportunity with meaningful operational value for eligible PSAPs and RECCs.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant/vendor fit: 0/100. The verified program structure does not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare, and Dr. Miltie is not an eligible applicant under the verified eligibility rules. Atlas is therefore not treating this as an outreach or direct-vendor opportunity.
Submission and next action
Eligible Massachusetts PSAPs and RECCs should review the current FY27 Guidelines and Application, confirm program compliance, assemble the required category-specific documentation, and submit by the controlling deadline. COMMBUYS indicates that an unfinished Quote already exists for this Bid, so Atlas will not create a duplicate response.
