Required next actionCLOSED CYCLE CONTROL: The controlling RFP deadline of September 17, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time has passed. No verified final signed Dr. Miltie direct-response package was available before the controlling cutoff, and no submission was released. Preserve the solicitation, Amendment 001, proposal drafts, budget, certifications, and QA history for audit and future reissue intelligence. Do not initiate new applicant outreach or submit a late direct response unless SMCHD formally reopens, extends, or reissues the procurement.
Broad Eligibility
Eligible applicants may include healthcare providers and health systems, primary care practices, Federally Qualified Health Centers, behavioral health and substance-use organizations, dental providers, EMS organizations proposing activities that do not establish or duplicate a separate MIH/community-paramedicine program, public agencies, community-based organizations, nonprofits, public-private partnerships and qualifying for-profit entities. Applicants should demonstrate service to St. Mary's County, Southern Maryland, rural or underserved populations; for-profit budgets may not include profit, fees or unallowable margin.
Atlas Analysis
Exceptional fit for organizations proposing mobile, home-based or community access that combines telehealth or remote monitoring with real care continuity, referral completion and measurable local outcomes. Competitive concepts should integrate with St. Mary's 360 and HWP/CRISP workflows rather than create parallel infrastructure. Direct-cost rules, non-duplication requirements and prior approval for major equipment or vehicles are important budget constraints.
St. Mary’s County Health Department issued RFP 27-05 to fund mobile, home-based, community-based and place-based health access strategies for county residents under Maryland’s Rural Health Transformation Program. The controlling RFP anticipates up to approximately $700,000 across one or more awards and describes digital-health, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, community micro-access and coordinated-navigation models as eligible approaches.
Projects must function as additive strategy arms of St. Mary’s 360, use the county Health & Wellness Portal when applicable, support closed-loop referral and follow-up, and cooperate with SMCHD, MDH, CRISP and other designated partners on interoperability, outcome measurement and reporting. The solicitation expressly warns against duplicating a separate Mobile Integrated Health/community-paramedicine program, a separate countywide care-coordination system or a competing community-referral platform.
The project period is anticipated to run October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals subject to funding. The controlling RFP requires proposals by September 17, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. SMCHD’s August 27 public announcement separately states 5:00 PM, but Atlas follows the solicitation document’s earlier 3:00 PM deadline for submission control.
