Closed Tennessee rural healthcare-access procurement. The State of Tennessee, Department of Health, sought a qualified contractor for the Innovative Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (iNEMT) Program, Solicitation 34320-20227.
Deadline: Tennessee’s official Central Procurement Office RFP table lists a response due date of September 11, 2026. That deadline has passed. Do not initiate new outreach or a late submission. Preserve this record for award monitoring, reopening, replacement-solicitation intelligence, and future-cycle planning.
Scope: the procurement is focused on operating, coordinating, or supporting rural transportation-access services for non-emergency medical transportation. The official solicitation notice requires demonstrated regional or statewide experience and states that full solicitation details require a signed nondisclosure agreement because they contain confidential State information. It identifies Simron Ayton as the solicitation coordinator, provides Simeon.ayton@tn.gov and 615-532-0110, and cautions that State supplier registration can take approximately 10–14 days.
Contract value: no official contract ceiling or guaranteed volume is disclosed on Tennessee’s public procurement listing. Atlas does not use third-party budget estimates as an official award amount.
Who should pursue it: organizations with credible regional or statewide medical-transportation capability, rural access experience, appropriate Tennessee supplier registration, required insurance and operational capacity, and the ability to satisfy the NDA and all controlling solicitation requirements.
Historical Atlas Opportunity Score: 86/100. This was a substantive statewide health-access vendor opportunity with direct rural-health relevance, but the response period is closed. Retain it for award monitoring and future-cycle intelligence rather than new pursuit activity.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 5/100. The verified scope is transportation access rather than telehealth, remote physical examination, RPM, or clinical-device acquisition. Atlas therefore does not manufacture an N9+ capture strategy for this procurement.
