Kansas — KDADS RHTP Crisis Transportation Services RFP EVT0010911
Kansas KDADS is seeking a qualified vendor to operate statewide 24/7/365 behavioral-health crisis transportation across all 105 counties. Responses to EVT0010911 are due September 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST. The procurement is highly relevant to rural behavioral-health infrastructure but does not present a material N9+ or QC Healthcare fit.
FundingThe EVT0010911 solicitation does not publish a verified contract value or bidder award ceiling. Separate Kansas RHTP Year 1 approved budget materials allocate $2.46 million to Behavioral Health Crisis Transport as program-budget context; that figure is not a solicitation award amount, guaranteed spend, or vendor commitment.
DeadlineSeptember 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST, using the exact time-zone label displayed by the Kansas eSupplier public bid portal.

Required next actionKeep published and monitor Kansas eSupplier/KDADS for amendments. Preserve the distinction between the $2.46 million Kansas RHTP Behavioral Health Crisis Transport program budget and the unstated EVT0010911 solicitation value. No Dr. Miltie pursuit or direct-vendor alert under the current transportation-only scope.
Broad Eligibility
Competitive procurement for qualified vendors capable of providing coordinated statewide behavioral-health crisis transportation. The contractor must support 24/7/365 operations across all 105 Kansas counties with centralized dispatch, appropriate vehicles and trained personnel.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 30/100. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 and QC Healthcare Fit 5/100. The verified solicitation scope is specialized statewide behavioral-health crisis transportation, dispatch, vehicles and trained personnel rather than telehealth technology or clinical coverage. Kansas RHTP Year 1 approved budget materials separately allocate $2.46 million to Behavioral Health Crisis Transport and describe statewide accessors conducting virtual evaluations, but that program-budget figure is not the EVT0010911 contract value and the procurement does not establish a requirement for N9+, connected physical-exam equipment, or a remote clinical-examination platform. No verified Path A, B or C pursuit for Dr. Miltie under the current solicitation.
Opportunity Overview
The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) has an open Rural Health Transformation procurement for RHTP Crisis Transportation Services, event EVT0010911. The solicitation seeks coordinated transportation for people experiencing mental-health or substance-use crises across Kansas.
Deadline
Responses are due September 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM CST, using the exact time-zone label displayed in the Kansas eSupplier public bid portal. The event was posted August 18, 2026.
Required Scope
KDADS seeks statewide coverage across all 105 Kansas counties with 24/7/365 service, centralized dispatch, vehicles appropriate for behavioral-health crisis transport, and personnel trained in de-escalation and trauma-informed care. Authorized referral sources include 988 crisis lines, community mental health centers, hospitals, law enforcement, courts and other approved entities.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 30/100. This is a meaningful Kansas Rural Health Transformation procurement and should remain visible for funding-intelligence completeness, but the actual contract is specialized non-medical crisis transportation rather than remote clinical assessment, telehealth technology or physician coverage.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The required deliverable is transportation operations, dispatch, vehicles and trained crisis-transport personnel. QC Healthcare Fit: 5/100. No verified role for physician coverage is established in the solicitation.
Path classification: no verified Atlas Path A, B or C pursuit for Dr. Miltie under the current scope. Dr. Miltie should not be represented as a bidder, prime, applicant or required subcontractor unless an authoritative amendment materially changes the solicitation.
Next Action
Keep the opportunity published while open and monitor the Kansas eSupplier event and KDADS funding page for amendments or material scope changes. Do not initiate Dr. Miltie outreach or send a direct-vendor alert under the current transportation-only requirements.
