Opportunity Overview
Open now. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is soliciting Peer Counseling Services under SWIFT Event 2000018563. The current Minnesota Supplier Portal listing shows the event opened September 1, 2026 at 8:00 AM CDT and responses are due September 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM CDT.
Scope and Eligibility
The procurement seeks qualified, Minnesota-licensed mental health care practitioners to provide peer counseling and related counseling services to Department of Public Safety employees who work in law-enforcement environments. This is a professional-services procurement, not a grant. A public contract ceiling or guaranteed service volume is not stated in the accessible Supplier Portal listing.
Submission and Vendor Requirements
Responses are submitted through the Minnesota Supplier Portal / SWIFT event. A current procurement mirror identifies Ashley Gene Scharffbillig as the solicitation contact at ashley.scharffbillig@state.mn.us and 651-201-7007. Responders should retrieve the live SWIFT Event 2000018563 package before bidding. The complete event package controls required supplier registration, professional licensure evidence, insurance, pricing, references, forms, certifications, service-delivery requirements, evaluation criteria, questions and answers, and any addenda or amendments. Those details are not fully exposed in the public guest listing and Atlas does not infer them.
Funding, Match and Cost Rules
No authoritative contract ceiling was identified in the public listing. Match or cost share is not applicable in the grant sense because this is a vendor procurement; responder pricing and the contract’s allowable billing and expense terms control.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a directly healthcare-related Minnesota professional-services procurement with a meaningful response window and clearly stated Minnesota clinical licensure requirement.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 5/100 conditional. The known scope is licensed mental-health counseling for public-safety employees, not remote physical examination technology, connected diagnostics, or telehealth equipment procurement.
Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100 on current evidence. Atlas is not advancing a direct bid because available Dr. Miltie records do not independently establish the Minnesota mental-health practitioner licensure, counseling personnel, law-enforcement counseling experience, insurance, references, and other qualifications that the controlling RFP may require. No qualification will be fabricated.
Next Action
Qualified Minnesota-licensed mental-health practitioners should retrieve SWIFT Event 2000018563, review every current attachment and amendment, verify all licensure, insurance, experience, reference, pricing, and submission requirements, and submit through the Minnesota Supplier Portal before the controlling deadline.
