Opportunity Overview
Open now. The New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), Central Office, is advertising CR 2138864 — Physician Services Pilot. The New York State Contract Reporter classifies the notice as a General procurement in Medical & Health Care with statewide geography.
Deadline
The official Contract Reporter listing shows an issue date of September 9, 2026 and a due date of September 30, 2026. The public listing reviewed by Atlas does not state an exact closing time or timezone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Verification Boundary
The current public notice verifies the title, issuing agency, statewide geography, Medical & Health Care classification, General ad type, issue date and due date. It does not publish a maximum contract value, detailed physician credential requirements, service locations, staffing levels, pilot operating model, pricing structure, mandatory forms or submission mechanics in the public summary reviewed by Atlas. Those material requirements must be taken from the controlling OPWDD solicitation documents before a bid decision is made.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 86/100. A current statewide OPWDD physician-services procurement is highly relevant to healthcare and disability-service intelligence. N9+ Fit: 10/100 conditional. The public notice does not establish telehealth, remote physical examination, connected diagnostics or equipment purchasing, so no device pathway should be assumed. QC Healthcare Fit: 60/100 conditional. Physician services are explicit in the procurement title, but Atlas will not assume specialties, staffing volumes, licensure requirements, on-site versus remote delivery, subcontracting rights or geographic coverage until the controlling package is reviewed.
September 11 Duplicate-Control Update
NYS Contract Reporter now also carries CR 2138898 — Physician Services Pilot, issued September 10, 2026 by OPWDD Central Office for Regions 2, 3, 4 and 5. Importantly, CR 2138898 is classified as a notice of sole/single source or procurement exempt from advertising and shows an ad end date of September 17, 2026. Atlas does not treat that ad-end date as a competitive proposal deadline and does not create a second pursuit merely because the title matches CR 2138864.
The prior OPWDD Physician Services Pilot solicitation, RFP OPD-2025-54, is useful only as historical lineage: it sought physician telemedicine for people with developmental disabilities, including remote visualization, vital-sign testing and bidder-supplied diagnostic equipment. Those 2025 requirements are not being carried forward as controlling 2026 requirements unless OPWDD confirms them in the current package.
Next Action
Qualified physician-service organizations should retrieve the complete OPWDD solicitation package, verify all mandatory clinical credentials, experience, coverage, insurance, staffing, pricing and submission requirements, monitor for amendments, and submit under the controlling instructions before September 30, 2026. Do not rely on an inferred closing time.
