Required next actionDo not advance a Dr. Miltie/QC proposal unless the firm can truthfully document every mandatory qualification: at least five years preparing New York healthcare CON applications, direct experience with at least two acute-care hospital or emergency-department construction/major-renovation CON applications in the past seven years, NYSDOH/Title 10 NYCRR expertise, healthcare planning and financial-feasibility capability, direct NYSDOH CON-review engagement, and two comparable New York CON client references. If all gates can be documented, contact Hannah Carrillo, Assistant Contract Administrator, at carrillh@upstate.edu within the advertised response window and provide hourly rates for the four requested consultant levels. No documents are uploaded to the NYSCR ad, and the public notice still does not publish a response clock time or time zone.
Broad Eligibility
Mandatory respondent qualifications are now verified from the official NYS Contract Reporter notice. Respondents must have at least five years of New York healthcare Certificate of Need application experience; proven NYSDOH regulatory and Title 10 NYCRR expertise; direct experience with at least two CON applications for new construction or major renovations of acute-care hospitals or emergency departments within the past seven years; healthcare planning, utilization, patient-access, financial-feasibility, and operational-planning capability; direct experience engaging NYSDOH during CON review; and at least two comparable New York CON client references. NYS small businesses and Article 15-A and 17-B certified businesses are encouraged to respond. These mandatory qualifications are not established for Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare, so direct pursuit is not authorized on the present record.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 84/100. The official notice now verifies a specialized New York hospital Certificate of Need consulting procurement for Upstate's proposed Clay-area outpatient medical facility, including Emergency Services, an Ambulatory Surgery Center, a Cancer Center, outpatient clinics, ancillary services, and supporting infrastructure. The consultant must support regulatory strategy, stakeholder coordination, CON narrative and schedules, need and financial-feasibility justification, staffing and service-impact analysis, NYSDOH interaction, and project management. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit remains 0/100 and QC Healthcare Fit remains 5/100. The mandatory experience gates are highly specialized and are not established for Dr. Miltie/QC Healthcare; therefore no direct proposal or procurement outreach is authorized on the present record.
Opportunity Overview
Newly issued. SUNY Upstate Medical University posted CR 2138913 — NYS Certificate of Need Advisory and Technical Support Services in the New York State Contract Reporter on September 10, 2026.
Verified Procurement Facts
The authoritative NYS Contract Reporter listing identifies the buyer as the State University of New York (SUNY), SUNY Upstate Medical University, classifies the opportunity in Medical & Health Care, and identifies it as a discretionary procurement less than $150,000. The listing gives a response due date of October 1, 2026.
Important Verification Boundary
The authoritative Contract Reporter detail now provides the core scope. SUNY Upstate intends to make an award under its discretionary authority, up to $150,000, for Certificate of Need consulting services supporting a large new-construction project. The consultant will support preparation and submission of a New York State Department of Health Certificate of Need application for a proposed Upstate University Hospital outpatient medical facility in the Clay, New York area, including Emergency Services, an Ambulatory Surgery Center, a Cancer Center, outpatient clinics, complementary ancillary services, and supporting infrastructure. Responsibilities include assessing CON regulatory requirements and strategy, coordinating with Upstate stakeholders, architects and planners, compiling required documentation, drafting and finalizing the CON narrative and schedules, including need, financial feasibility, staffing and service-impact justifications, and providing project-management guidance for a timely compliant submission.
The public notice still does not publish a response clock time or time zone, detailed insurance terms, pricing format, or every bidder qualification and submission-control item. Atlas will not invent those terms and will continue to treat them as verification items before any direct pursuit.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. This is a current New York healthcare professional-services procurement with a now-verified, substantive Certificate of Need advisory scope tied to a major outpatient construction project. The score remains below the highest tier because several bidder-qualification, insurance, pricing and exact submission-control details are still not exposed in the accessible public notice.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The verified public notice concerns Certificate of Need advisory and technical support services, not connected clinical examination technology. QC Healthcare Fit: 5/100. Healthcare-domain relevance is real, but no physician-staffing or clinical-services scope is established by the public notice.
Next Action
Professional-services firms with demonstrated New York healthcare regulatory and Certificate of Need experience should review the full SUNY Upstate procurement package, confirm all mandatory qualifications, insurance and pricing requirements, and verify the exact submission method and deadline time before responding. The public notice requires interested firms to contact the designated campus contact within the advertised response window; the listed due date is October 1, 2026. Atlas will continue monitoring for amendments or additional controlling documents.
