Open now. Mississippi’s official procurement portal lists RFP 4689 — WIC Text Messaging for the Mississippi Department of Health as open. The procurement identifiers are Smart Number 1601-26-R-RFPR-00011 and RFx 3120003371.
Deadline: September 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The Mississippi procurement record lists the submission and opening at 3:00 PM; Atlas treats the published Mississippi procurement time as the controlling state-local deadline unless an official amendment states otherwise.
Scope: the State seeks a HIPAA-compliant WIC communications solution supporting telephone, text and/or email, including appointment reminders, missed-appointment notices, two-way conversational texting, multilingual communication, clinic/emergency messages, reporting, consent and opt-out controls, and role-based access.
Vendor qualifications: the technical requirements state that the vendor must have proven experience providing mass-messaging systems for WIC programs, demonstrate multilingual/mobile capability, have at least three years in the business of providing such solutions, and provide relevant public-sector experience.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 61/100. This is a verified healthcare/public-health technology procurement with a clear operational need and statewide WIC context, but the narrow vendor-experience requirements and short remaining response window reduce practical value for Dr. Miltie.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 2/100. The solicitation is for a specialized WIC communications platform, not connected physical-exam equipment, telehealth examination capability, RPM hardware, or N9+ clinical workflow. Atlas does not recommend forcing an N9+ response into this procurement.
Funding/contract value: not disclosed in the official procurement record reviewed by Atlas.
Official sources: Mississippi procurement record and RFP 4689 technical requirements.
