Opportunity Overview
The Mississippi Department of Mental Health (DMH) is seeking a CCBHC & 988 Systems and Performance Strategist under Smart No. 3371-27-R-RFIN-00002 / RFx 3150007020. The controlling Mississippi procurement record classifies the opportunity as non-IT personnel services / health-related administration and directs interested respondents to submit a resume for consideration.
Status and Deadline
The current Mississippi procurement record for Smart No. 3371-27-R-RFIN-00002 / RFx 3150007020 is Open and shows a submission date of October 19, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Mississippi DMH’s current Job Opportunities page independently confirms the deadline as October 19, 2026 at 1:00 PM CST. The previously observed official-source conflict is resolved on the current state records. Respondents should still recheck the official procurement record and DMH posting immediately before submission for any amendment or status change.
Scope
The role supports Mississippi’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and 988 systems. Mississippi DMH’s official Job Opportunities page describes statewide behavioral-health planning and implementation support, cross-system coordination, data collection and analysis, performance measurement, dashboards and reporting, SAMHSA-related reporting support, technical assistance, continuous quality improvement, and system integration. These scope elements are officially verified from DMH’s current public job posting.
Qualifications
The official DMH RFA requires a master’s degree from an accredited college or university in public health, behavioral health, healthcare administration, social work, psychology, public administration, business administration, or a related field, plus at least eight (8) years of relevant professional experience in behavioral health, healthcare, program implementation, project management, performance improvement, data analysis, program evaluation, or a related area. Atlas does not treat those applicant-controlled qualifications as verified organizational credentials for Dr. Miltie, LLC unless they are independently documented in the controlling solicitation and Dr. Miltie records. No qualification will be inferred or fabricated.
Compensation / Value
The controlling state landing record does not publish a total contract ceiling in the information Atlas can independently verify. The official DMH RFA sets the hourly rate at $45, allows up to 40 hours per week, requires at least 20 hours per week, and permits a flexible Monday-Friday schedule within an 8:00 AM-5:30 PM framework.
Submission and Contact
The official DMH RFA requires a resume submission in a sealed envelope plainly marked “CCBHC/988 Systems & Performance Strategist” and delivered by the deadline to Mississippi Department of Mental Health, Attention: MarQuaita Lampkin, 239 North Lamar Street, Suite 1001, Jackson, MS 39201. The published procurement contact is MarQuaita Lampkin at marquaita.lampkin@dmh.ms.gov. The controlling record includes the strategist advertisement, job description, and RFx form; those attachments control the final submission method, qualifications, forms, and any certifications.
Registrations, Match, and Procurement Rules
This is a professional-services/personnel procurement rather than a grant to an outside applicant. No non-Federal match or cost-share requirement is identified on the state landing record. Atlas does not infer vendor registrations, insurance, certifications, or other bidder requirements that are not confirmed in the controlling attachments.
Addenda, Amendments, and FAQs
No separate addendum or FAQ is represented here unless it appears in the controlling Mississippi procurement record. Respondents should recheck the official record and its attachments before responding.
Atlas Analysis
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This is a behavioral-health systems strategy, data, performance, and implementation role, not a remote physical-examination technology acquisition.
Direct Dr. Miltie / Atlas services fit: No Bid on currently verified facts. Dr. Miltie has relevant healthcare, telehealth, implementation, and performance-support experience, but Atlas has not located applicant-controlled documentation in the canonical pursuit folder establishing the mandatory qualifying master’s degree or every required Mississippi behavioral-health/CCBHC/988 knowledge element. The RFA’s eight-year minimum applies to broader relevant professional experience; CCBHC/988-specific experience is highly preferred rather than the stated eight-year minimum. Atlas will not infer or fabricate those qualifications. Qualification readiness remains limited until those mandatory credentials are established.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 0/100 for direct pursuit under currently verified records. The opportunity is strategically adjacent to Dr. Miltie’s healthcare-systems capabilities, but respondent qualification is the controlling gate.
Atlas Action
This opportunity already has an existing Zoho CRM Deal at Active Grant Opportunity and an existing canonical Mississippi WorkDrive pursuit folder. Atlas therefore published this public opportunity page without creating duplicate CRM or WorkDrive records. No response, package transmission, stage advancement, or external outreach is represented as completed.
