Opportunity Overview
The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) has released ODMR 2627-0025 Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) Services RFI, Solicitation ID SRC0000041499. ODM is seeking input from vendors on technology solutions, including GPS coordinates and related data, that can help verify NEMT services provided to Ohio Medicaid enrollees.
Response Deadline and Submission
Responses are due September 14, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET. The inquiry deadline was September 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET. ODM directs respondents to submit through OhioBuys according to the RFI instructions.
Opportunity Type and Value
This is a Request for Information issued for market research and planning. The accessible official ODM announcement does not identify a contract award, guaranteed procurement, applicant-relevant funding ceiling, or cost-share requirement. Atlas therefore does not assign an invented dollar value.
Who Should Respond
ODM specifically invites organizations working with NEMT, transportation technology, or GPS-based verification systems to provide input. The official announcement confirms a technology-verification focus rather than a grant applicant pathway.
Verification Note
The official Ohio Department of Medicaid announcement confirms the title, solicitation ID, response window, exact response deadline, inquiry deadline, technology/GPS verification focus, and OhioBuys submission path. The full OhioBuys RFI package was not directly retrievable in Atlas’s current verification environment. Respondents should therefore review the live OhioBuys package before preparing a response for any detailed forms, attachments, data specifications, certifications, amendments, or other submission requirements.
N9+ / Dr. Miltie Strategic Analysis
N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. NEMT supports healthcare access, but the verified RFI focus is transportation-service verification and GPS-related technology, not remote physical examination, guided examinations, vitals, or telehealth-enabled clinical encounters. Atlas should not force the Nonagon N9+ into this opportunity.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 30/100. The RFI is useful statewide Ohio Medicaid procurement intelligence and may shape a later formal technology procurement. Direct Dr. Miltie/QC participation is presently low-fit because no internal evidence establishes NEMT operations, GPS-verification technology, or equivalent transportation-data implementation experience. No direct submission or external outreach should proceed without a legitimate capability match.
