Opportunity Overview
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Substance Use and Mental Health, is accepting qualifications under DHHS91109, Care and Supervision for Children in Foster Care with Parents Receiving Treatment Services. The solicitation establishes an Approved Vendor List for providers serving children placed in foster care while a parent receives qualifying treatment through a contracted program.
Deadline and Submission
DHHS identifies DHHS91109 as an open ended Request for Statement of Qualifications. Responses are evaluated as received under the controlling solicitation process. The public DHHS page does not publish a conventional fixed closing date. Responses must be submitted outside U3P in accordance with the RFSQ instructions, and DHHS expressly warns not to submit response documents through U3P.
Verified Qualification Requirements
The current solicitation record requires a qualifying provider to maintain Medicaid enrollment and Medicaid billing capability, an applicable Local Substance Abuse Authority contract for Women and Children’s Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment, and the required Utah DHHS residential license. Applicants must use the current DHHS application package and provide the required Data Sheet, tax documentation when applicable, Conflict of Interest Disclosure, qualifying contract documentation, and license evidence.
Funding and Rates
DHHS establishes service rates rather than accepting vendor pricing. The current rate table effective July 1, 2026 includes a $140 daily foster care maintenance rate for an eligible child placed with a parent in qualifying residential substance use disorder treatment. Qualifying transportation is reimbursed under the applicable DHHS mileage schedule. The controlling public materials do not state a total program funding pool, universal contract ceiling, or guaranteed utilization.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. This is a meaningful Utah behavioral health and child welfare contracting pathway, but eligibility is narrow and tied to specific existing treatment, Medicaid, and licensing qualifications.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. The verified scope is care and supervision tied to residential substance use disorder treatment. It does not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare. Dr. Miltie direct pursuit is No Bid under the verified requirements.
Required Next Action
Prospective providers should review the current RFSQ, Scope of Work, submission instructions, forms, rate table, client service terms, questions and answers, and any U3P notices before submitting a complete qualification package outside U3P.
