The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Bureau of Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences has posted M27002 / BD-27-1031-BID00-BID04-132880, a current notice tied to implementation and evaluation of electronic partner notification (ePN) for sexually transmitted infections through mobile messaging.
Opportunity status
COMMBUYS lists the record as open with a bid opening of September 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The public bid header does not separately label the timezone; operationally, use Massachusetts local/Eastern time and do not wait until the final hour.
Scope
DPH states that its Bureau of Infectious Disease and Laboratory Sciences intends to collaborate with Massachusetts General Brigham to implement and evaluate partner notification for STIs via mobile messaging (ePN) services. Massachusetts General Brigham is described as contributing funding through the Public Health Trust.
Funding and eligibility
The public COMMBUYS record does not state a competitive award ceiling, total funding amount, match requirement, or broad applicant pool. This posting reads as a collaboration/notice rather than an open equipment grant. The controlling COMMBUYS attachment and any agency-issued updates govern.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 25/100. This is relevant Massachusetts public-health intelligence but is not a strong applicant-outreach or direct-vendor pathway because the notice identifies Massachusetts General Brigham as the intended collaborator.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The stated work is mobile-message partner notification for STIs, not remote physical examination, diagnostics procurement, or telehealth examination equipment. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. The public scope does not establish a physician-coverage or clinical staffing role.
Next action
Track for amendment, replacement solicitation, or a future competitive procurement. Do not initiate new applicant outreach: less than 48 hours remains before the posted September 11 deadline.
