Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 72/100. N9+ Fit 0/100. Material statewide healthcare-benefits procurement, but the verified scope is PBM administration. The detailed requirements are NDA-gated, the public contract value is unknown, and Dr. Miltie direct-vendor qualification is not established.
Opportunity Overview
The Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration, Benefits Administration, has issued RFP 31786-00191 for a single Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) to provide the services described in the confidential pro forma contract for all plans offered by the State Group Insurance Program.
Deadline
The public solicitation notice states a response deadline of December 7, 2026. The notice does not publish a response clock time, so Atlas does not infer one.
Confidential Solicitation Control
The State identifies the detailed solicitation as containing confidential information. Prospective respondents must execute and return the State nondisclosure agreement before the solicitation details can be disclosed. The notice also states that State supplier registration may take approximately 10 to 14 days.
Funding
The public notice does not disclose a contract ceiling or estimated maximum liability. Atlas preserves the value as unknown rather than inferring it from the size of the State Group Insurance Program.
N9+ / Dr. Miltie Relevance
N9+ Fit: 0/100. The public scope is enterprise pharmacy-benefit administration, not telehealth, remote physical examination, diagnostics, or clinical-device procurement. Dr. Miltie is not advanced as a direct respondent because the available record does not establish PBM operating capability and the controlling detailed requirements remain NDA-gated.
Next Steps
Qualified PBM respondents should complete the official NDA, obtain the confidential solicitation package, verify all qualifications, security and performance requirements, complete State supplier registration early enough to avoid delay, and submit by the State’s deadline.
