Opportunity Overview
The Montana Office of Public Instruction has issued OPI-RFI-2027-0181, Mathematics Improvement Services — Comprehensive School Improvement under ESSA. The RFI is intended to create a vendor resource list for Montana schools identified for Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI).
Deadline
The RFI opened September 2, 2026 and closes September 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT. The exact Montana eMACS sourcing-event page is vendor-login controlled; Atlas cross-checked the solicitation number, schedule and contact against current public procurement mirrors sourced from eMACS.
Purpose
This is a request for information and vendor-list development, not a grant award by itself. OPI’s current CSI program supports schools identified under Montana’s ESSA accountability system, including work around academic achievement and academic growth in mathematics.
Funding
No grant amount or guaranteed contract value is stated in the public RFI materials reviewed. Atlas does not use third-party AI value estimates as a funding amount.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. The RFI is directly school-related and could position qualified mathematics-improvement service vendors for work with CSI schools, but the current notice establishes a resource list rather than an immediate funded award.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The verified scope is mathematics improvement and educational support services, not school-health, telehealth, remote physical examination, diagnostics or medical-device procurement. Dr. Miltie/QC Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100 under the currently verified scope.
Next Action
Qualified mathematics-improvement vendors should retrieve the controlling eMACS RFI attachment, verify the requested evidence base, qualifications, service categories and response format, and submit through Montana eMACS by September 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT.
