Opportunity Overview
The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Office of STD/HIV, is seeking a qualified organization to provide coordination, administrative, logistical, facilitation, and technical support for the Mississippi HIV Planning Body (MHPB). The work supports statewide STD/HIV prevention and care planning, stakeholder participation, meeting and committee administration, needs assessment, planning support, records, evaluation, and reporting.
Funding and Performance Period
Current public procurement-feed data sourced from the MSDH OpenGov listing identifies a total anticipated subgrant amount of $50,000, funded through CDC Assistance Listing 93.940. The initial period of performance is reported as October 15, 2026 through May 31, 2027, with final invoicing after the performance period as specified by the solicitation.
Deadline
Current mirrors of the MSDH OpenGov procurement feed show an application deadline of September 25, 2026 at 11:55 PM Central Daylight Time, which is the same instant as September 26, 2026 at 4:55 AM UTC. The controlling source is the official MSDH OpenGov project. Atlas will not rely on the UTC date alone as a separate deadline.
Applicant and Submission Requirements
Available solicitation data describes eligibility for qualified non-federal organizations and requires organizational capacity, relevant HIV/STI or public-health experience, planning-body or advisory-body coordination capability, community and lived-experience engagement, fiscal and grant-management capacity, statewide service capability, and qualified staffing. Reported application materials include SAM.gov/UEI evidence, W-9, organizational chart, key-personnel resumes or CVs, work plan, line-item budget, conflict-of-interest and eligibility responses, and submission through the official OpenGov Procurement portal.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 72/100. The opportunity is strongly relevant to Mississippi public-health planning and administrative support, but it is specialized and fast-moving. N9+ Fit 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit 10/100 conditional only as public-health planning support, not as a clinical technology purchase. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant/vendor eligibility is not established because the full controlling RFA and applicant-specific qualifications have not been authoritatively reconciled against available Dr. Miltie records. No direct submission is authorized.
Verification Hold
The official MSDH OpenGov project is the controlling source, but its project page currently returns an access block in the available web environment. Multiple current public procurement mirrors agree on the solicitation number, $50,000 amount, scope, OpenGov submission method, and the same deadline instant, but Atlas fail-closed rules require review of the controlling RFA for all material terms before applicant-specific ORIGINAL outreach, package production, or direct-vendor action. Atlas last reviewed September 23, 2026.
