Required next actionQualified emergency medical dispatch technology vendors should review the current Montana eMACS event, all controlling solicitation documents and any posted Q&A or amendments, confirm their proposed EMD Protocol Software and applicable NENA/ASTM/NHTSA/NFPA/AHA/CPR standards, disclose pre-existing subcontractor partnerships, and submit by September 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT. Atlas is not prioritizing a Dr. Miltie pursuit because the verified scope remains EMD software and statewide PSAP implementation rather than N9+ or QC clinical technology.
Broad Eligibility
Qualified vendors capable of providing the statewide Emergency Medical Dispatch System software, implementation, integration, training, support, maintenance, and related services required by the controlling Montana RFP.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 83/100. Current Montana eMACS verification confirms a direct statewide EMD-system procurement covering labor, equipment, software, licensing, implementation, integration, training, maintenance and support for participating PSAPs, with a lump-sum cost request for 35 stations. Mandatory proposer requirements include identifying the EMD Protocol Software, addressing applicable NENA, ASTM, NHTSA, NFPA, AHA and CPR-related standards, and listing pre-existing subcontractor partnerships and work to be subcontracted. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit remains 12/100 because the controlling scope is emergency medical dispatch rather than remote physical examination, telehealth diagnostic hardware, RPM or QC clinical coverage; NOT TRUE Dr. Miltie Path A under the currently verified scope.
The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services has opened a competitive Rural Health Transformation Program procurement for a statewide Emergency Medical Dispatch System and related services.
Opportunity: RHTP Emergency Medical Dispatch, DPHHS-RFP-2027-0692AB.
Schedule: the RFP opened August 25, 2026. The vendor-question deadline of September 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT has passed; the current Montana eMACS listing remains open and proposals close September 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM MDT.
Scope: Montana is seeking qualified vendors to provide a statewide Emergency Medical Dispatch System solution supporting Rural Health Transformation Program outcomes, consistent and high-quality emergency medical dispatch, and scalable deployment across Montana Public Safety Answering Points. The state says the procurement is intended to produce a single contract covering software, implementation, integration, training, support, maintenance, and related services.
Funding: the current official public RFP listing does not state a contract ceiling. Atlas does not infer one.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 83/100. This is a statewide healthcare and EMS technology procurement with a defined implementation and integration scope and more than three weeks remaining before close.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 12/100. The current official eMACS event confirms that the prime contractor must identify the Emergency Medical Dispatch Protocol Software being proposed, state whether it meets applicable NENA, ASTM, NHTSA, NFPA, AHA and CPR-related standards, and disclose pre-existing subcontractor partnerships and the work to be subcontracted. The requested statewide scope covers labor, equipment, software, licensing, implementation, integration, training, maintenance and support for participating PSAPs, including a lump-sum cost for 35 stations. Those requirements reinforce that this is an EMD-system procurement rather than remote physical examination, telehealth diagnostic hardware, RPM or QC clinical coverage, so Atlas is not treating it as a HIGH-FIT N9+ capture or a TRUE Dr. Miltie Path A pursuit.
