Schedule: the IFB was issued August 31, 2026 and bids are due September 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT. A public extraction of the issued solicitation reports the question deadline as September 8, 2026 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time.

Public-health purpose: Montana DEQ’s Radon Control Program distributes subsidized radon test kits to Montana residents. DEQ states that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and that Montana’s geology makes elevated radon a significant statewide concern. DEQ’s 2026 program information states that paid return postage and laboratory analysis are included with its resident test kits.
Scope: the solicitation calls for turnkey radon-test-kit fulfillment, informational materials, outbound and return postage, laboratory analysis and reporting, and operation/maintenance of a dedicated program website. Public document extraction reports an anticipated volume of approximately 10,000 test kits annually and a 12-month contract with two optional 12-month renewal terms. The contractor must address the solicitation’s integration and security requirements.
Funding/value: no authoritative total contract value or ceiling is published in the accessible public listing. Pricing is structured as a lump-sum price per test kit including fulfillment and laboratory analysis. Atlas does not infer a contract value.
Vendor requirements and registrations: qualified commercial vendors must comply with the IFB, Montana standard terms and applicable insurance requirements. Public solicitation extraction identifies a 12-character Unique Entity Identifier from SAM.gov as required for award, together with bidder/company and authorized-signatory information, required certifications, AI-use disclosure when applicable, and responses to integration/security requirements. Confidential information must follow the solicitation’s trade-secret/confidential-information procedure, including a Trade Secret Affidavit and redacted copy when confidentiality is asserted.

Atlas Opportunity Score: 72/100. This is a legitimate Montana public-health procurement with statewide lung-cancer-prevention relevance and a defined laboratory/fulfillment scope, but it is specialized radon testing rather than a general healthcare technology opportunity.
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The procurement is for radon kits, fulfillment, laboratory analysis and reporting, with no remote physical-examination or telehealth function.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100 based on currently verified capabilities and scope.
Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 0/100. Atlas has no verified basis to represent Dr. Miltie, LLC as a qualified radon laboratory, radon-test-kit fulfillment provider, or provider of the required radon-program web/laboratory integration. No direct bid should be advanced without independently verified qualifications.
