Opportunity Overview
Maine CDC’s Oral Health Program maintains a Willing & Qualified contracting pathway for school-based dental program and service-delivery coordination. Multiple State postings cover the same underlying program and are consolidated here as one canonical Atlas opportunity rather than separate records by provider or county. The current amended agreements run through June 30, 2027.
Service Scope
The pathway supports school-based preventive oral-health services, including program coordination, community and school relationships, service delivery, administration, and reporting. The current amendments expand the Maine CDC School Oral Health Program under LD 1501 to additional schools and grade levels, with particular relevance to rural and underserved communities.
Current Funding and Providers
The two current 2026 amended provider agreements are Aroostook County Action Program, Inc. and Sunrise Opportunities. Each was revised from $178,980 to $200,000, for a combined known revised amount of $400,000. Older base postings for these same provider agreements are predecessors and are not additive. Both organizations are incumbents, not unsent applicants for this exact opportunity.
Eligibility and Qualification Requirements
Providers must be willing and qualified to coordinate and deliver school-based preventive oral-health programming, possess appropriate personnel and operational capacity, maintain effective school and community relationships, and satisfy Maine CDC reporting and contract requirements. The State states that it accepts willing and qualified providers for the service and does not intend to issue an RFP.
Atlas Relevance
This is a meaningful school-health and rural-access pathway. The controlling PJFs, however, do not establish teledentistry, telehealth, remote diagnostic devices, or N9+ costs as allowable. Any technology-support role would require a qualified oral-health provider and explicit Maine CDC cost-treatment confirmation.
Next Action
Treat Aroostook County Action Program and Sunrise Opportunities as incumbents. Do not create duplicate Atlas records from older or parallel State postings for the same program. For any prospective additional provider, first verify current W&Q availability, required dental-program qualifications, school/community service capacity, geographic need, contract terms, and funding availability before applying CRM, Atlas_Email_Queue, Email Opt-Out, sent-history, reply, bounce, approval, deadline, and exact-opportunity deduplication controls.
