Atlas Analysis

Iowa HHS has rescinded RFP PHTHOCC27705. The prior solicitation is no longer an actionable opportunity and should not be used for outreach, award assumptions, or package production. A replacement RFP is expected, and all interested parties will need to submit a new proposal under the replacement process. N9+ and other applicant-specific fit must be re-evaluated only after the new RFP is published.

Iowa HHS issued RFP PHTHOCC27705 to increase colorectal cancer screening through evidence-based interventions in clinical settings. The work includes addressing patient barriers, patient navigation, quality improvement, provider and patient reminders, and stronger use of electronic health record workflows and data.

Iowa HHS clarified that approximately $516,000 is available per contract year and will be divided among awarded contractors. Screening and diagnostic services themselves are supported outside this RFP, so applicants should focus the grant budget on the required intervention, navigation, EHR, workforce, quality-improvement and reporting work.
