Interior Community Health Center (ICHC), a Federally Qualified Health Center in Fairbanks, Alaska, is requesting proposals for a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Nursing Service supporting approximately 160 patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
Deadline: Proposals must be submitted by September 16, 2026. The controlling public notice does not publish a clock time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Funding: The notice states that the procurement is covered by the State of Alaska Rural Health Transformation Program and supported by CMS/HHS through a subaward of $88,871, representing a portion of Alaska’s broader award. The notice does not expressly identify $88,871 as a contract ceiling, so Atlas does not treat it as the maximum vendor value. Contract execution is contingent on funding availability.
Scope: The selected vendor must provide and integrate RPM software with ICHC’s Athena electronic health record, assist with enrolling eligible hypertension patients through December 31, 2026, mail cellular enabled blood pressure cuffs directly to enrolled patients, help patients link the cuffs to their EHR, and provide blood pressure monitoring and individualized health promotion coaching through June 30, 2027. Blood pressure readings must appear in the patient’s Athena chart for ICHC providers, and the contractor must provide timely communications and reports showing nursing coaching interaction dates and times.
Proposal requirements: The public notice requires references, sample blood pressure cuffs, and a sample nursing coaching report. Specific questions may be directed to Traci Hudson at traci.hudson@inhc.org. Proposals must be submitted to accounts.payable@inhc.org.
Match or cost share: Not applicable as this is a vendor procurement rather than an applicant grant award.
Atlas assessment: Atlas Opportunity Score 94/100. N9+ Fit 10/100. The solicitation specifically requires a cellular enabled blood pressure cuff based RPM workflow, nursing monitoring, coaching, Athena integration, fulfillment, reporting, and references. The public notice does not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform, so N9+ fit is not forced. A Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare direct vendor role remains conditional and unverified unless all required RPM nursing, platform integration, cuff fulfillment, coaching, reporting, and reference qualifications can be demonstrated. Atlas does not auto submit.
Official organization context: ICHC’s current website confirms its Fairbanks location, health center status, chronic disease services, telehealth services, and vendor or grant inquiry address. The procurement itself is published as an ICHC legal notice.
Controlling solicitation notice: Interior Community Health Center RPM Nursing Service RFP legal notice.
