Montana DPHHS is administering the Stabilization Services Pilot Grant Program, a statewide behavioral-health infrastructure opportunity funded under HB 863.
Opportunity: Community Stabilization Services, solicitation DPHHS-RFP-2027-0687AB.
Controlling source and current status: the State of Montana eMACS procurement event is currently open and closes September 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT. Proposals are submitted through the State eMACS/JAGGAER procurement system.
Eligible applicants: a county, municipality, or multi-county entity in Montana. The solicitation is intended to expand community-based stabilization capacity and reduce the likelihood that individuals are placed on the Forensic Mental Health Facility waitlist.
Funding: DPHHS has identified $6.5 million in total program funding under HB 863. The currently accessible public eMACS event materials do not state a per-applicant award ceiling, so Atlas does not infer one.
Required proposal components identified in the controlling eMACS event: completed Business Information; a complete response to the Scope of Work; a complete response to Offeror Qualifications; review of the Budget Worksheet Instructions; and a completed Budget Worksheet. The event also includes contract-exception, trade-secret/confidentiality, certification, insurance, vendor-registration, debarment, and eMACS submission controls.
Submission-control note: the public event PDF identifies the required attached documents but does not expose the full contents of every Scope of Work, Offeror Qualifications, Budget Worksheet, Q&A, or amendment file without the authenticated eMACS event workspace. Atlas will not invent or reconstruct those applicant-controlled requirements. The live event workspace and all current addenda/Q&A must be rechecked before any package or submission work.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 91/100.
N9+ Fit: 38/100 conditional. Dr. Miltie is not a direct eligible applicant under the county/municipality/multi-county eligibility rule. Any technology or clinical-support role would need to be selected by an eligible Montana public applicant and affirmatively supported by the controlling Scope of Work, budget allowability, procurement rules, and project design. Atlas will not force a product fit.
