SOURCE CONTROL HOLD — September 15, 2026: Atlas discovered this Hawaii Department of Health procurement through current procurement mirrors that identify Hawaii HANDS reference 27490. The controlling HANDS solicitation, all attachments, addenda, eligibility provisions, and the effect of the reported mandatory pre-bid orientation have not yet been authoritatively retrieved and verified. Do not publish, score, conduct applicant outreach, produce a package, or classify Dr. Miltie as a direct applicant until that review is complete.
Secondary-source discovery
Current procurement mirrors identify solicitation HTH-PHN-1-26, Pilot Project: Integration of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in Hawaii DOH CDPHND Service Delivery in Rural Communities, from the Hawaii Department of Health, Communicable Disease and Public Health Nursing Division. They report a proposal deadline of September 22, 2026 at 4:30 PM HST and describe a statewide rural-health pilot supporting administrative and workforce infrastructure for six full-time-equivalent community health workers.
Secondary materials report a single cost-reimbursement contract of up to $658,000, an anticipated term from October 28, 2026 through July 31, 2027, and a mandatory pre-bid orientation that reportedly occurred September 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM HST. Atlas has not yet verified from the controlling State documents whether attendance is an absolute eligibility prerequisite, whether any waiver or alternate compliance path exists, or whether later addenda changed that requirement.
Next source-control action
Retrieve Hawaii HANDS reference 27490 and every current attachment and addendum. Verify official open status, exact deadline and time zone, applicant eligibility, the pre-bid orientation requirement and attendance consequences, contract ceiling, submission method, required forms and certifications, match or cost share, staffing requirements, budget rules, and all amendments. Only after that verification may Atlas score, publish, identify applicants, classify direct-vendor applicability, or begin outreach.
