Opportunity Overview
Baltimore County Department of Health, Bureau of Behavioral Health / Local Behavioral Health Authority is seeking one qualified nonprofit vendor to operate three grant-funded programs: Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH), PATH State Match outreach, and a SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) specialist program. The work serves people experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness who have serious behavioral health conditions and includes outreach, screening, enrollment, case management, housing and benefits assistance, linkage to behavioral-health and substance-use services, crisis intervention, and SSI/SSDI application support.
Funding and Deadline
The RFP states combined annual compensation of $263,191 per fiscal year for the three projects. Proposals are due October 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern. Questions are due October 20 at 4:00 PM. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 29 at 10:00 AM. Vendors must monitor the official Baltimore County OpenGov portal for amendments and addenda.
Who Can Respond
The solicitation requires an incorporated nonprofit offeror and calls for documentation of nonprofit status, a board roster and board resolution, relevant homeless-outreach and behavioral-health experience, a Baltimore County administrative office, staffing and resumes, HIPAA compliance, quality-assurance and emergency procedures, references from similar work, insurance, and separate technical and price/budget submissions for PATH, PATH State Match and SOAR.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a substantial, clearly defined behavioral-health and homelessness-services procurement with recurring annual funding, but its value to Dr. Miltie is primarily through applicant support rather than N9+ technology.
N9+ Fit Score: 10/100. Remote physical examination is not a core requirement of the RFP. Atlas should not force N9+ into a solicitation centered on outreach, case management, housing/benefits linkage and SOAR.
Direct-vendor status: NOT TRUE for Dr. Miltie, LLC as currently documented. The RFP requires a qualified incorporated nonprofit offeror with nonprofit governance documentation. Dr. Miltie/QC should only participate if a lawful, solicitation-compliant supporting role is available through an eligible nonprofit prime and all required qualifications can be documented.
