Opportunity Overview
The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, for the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, has opened RFSQ BB27-100 for professional monitoring and evaluation services supporting Utah’s Rural Health Transformation Program. The RHTP evaluation contractor is expected to assess program outcomes, evaluate the impact of Utah’s seven RHTP initiatives and innovative pilot activities, monitor performance, and support course corrections across the five-year program.
Deadline and Procurement Structure
The RFSQ opened August 31, 2026 at 4:30 PM MDT. Questions are due September 11, 2026 at 10:30 AM MDT, and qualifications are due September 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM MDT. The public notice identifies a five-year contract. It states that the highest-ranked vendor will be selected to negotiate fair and reasonable compensation and instructs respondents not to include pricing with the statement of qualifications.
Funding
The current Utah DHHS RHTP funding table states that 1 award is expected, up to $1,668,126.29 in Year 1, with a total anticipated award up to $8,243,892.29. The RFSQ still directs respondents not to include pricing with qualifications; the highest-ranked vendor will negotiate fair and reasonable compensation.
Eligibility and Requirements
The public notice describes the RFSQ as a request for statements of qualifications from companies for professional consulting services. The complete Utah Bonfire solicitation package controls mandatory experience, personnel, forms, registration, insurance, certifications, and other bidder requirements. Those requirements should be reviewed before any vendor treats itself as qualified to respond.
N9+ / QC Strategic Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 80/100. This is a substantial rural-health professional-services procurement, but the verified scope is program monitoring, evaluation, analytics, outcome assessment, and performance management rather than clinical technology deployment.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. The public scope does not establish a material or defensible N9+ device, telehealth, remote-exam, or QC clinical-service role. Although the procurement is structurally direct-to-vendor, Atlas does not classify it as a verified Dr. Miltie Path A opportunity unless the controlling RFSQ confirms the mandatory qualifications and Dr. Miltie can truthfully satisfy them for the requested evaluation services.
Next Action
Interested evaluation and consulting firms should retrieve the complete Utah Bonfire package for BB27-100, verify all mandatory qualifications and submission forms, prepare the statement of qualifications without pricing, and submit by September 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM MDT.
