Opportunity Overview
Tennessee Technological University currently lists an open RFQ for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Services. This is a healthcare vendor procurement associated with a Tennessee public university, not an applicant grant.
Current Verified Procurement Facts
The official Tennessee Tech Purchasing and Contracts Current Bid Opportunities page lists a due date of October 16, 2026 and identifies Janice Scarlett at jscarlett@tntech.edu as the purchasing contact. Tennessee Tech states that the bid document and applicable university RFQ Standard Terms and Conditions, Data Privacy and Security Terms and Conditions, GDPR Data Protection Addendum, and Purchase Order Terms and Conditions form part of the solicitation package.
The controlling RFQ states quotations are due October 16, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time. The resulting contract will run for five years, with first clinical services planned for November 6, 2026 subject to completed contracting. Bids may be submitted by email to Janice Scarlett at jscarlett@tntech.edu or by mail to Tennessee Tech University Purchasing and Contracts. Questions are due September 25, 2026, and Tennessee Tech states answers will be posted October 9, 2026. Bidders must complete the RFQ service requirements and Attachment A cost sheet, which requests a weekly PMHNP services charge and a monthly supervising physician services charge.
Program Context
Tennessee Tech Board materials document that the university has used a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in its Center for Counseling and Mental Health Wellness for brief and short term medication management and psychiatric evaluation services for students. That historical context helps explain the service category but does not replace the requirements of the current 2026 RFQ.
Atlas Fit Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. The controlling RFQ has now been reviewed. This is a current five year psychiatric clinical services procurement from a Tennessee public university with a clearly verified response deadline, submission path, staffing specifications, and award method. Vendor eligibility remains conditional on proof that every mandatory clinical staffing and credential requirement can be satisfied.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The verified public listing is for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner services and does not establish a role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform. Atlas will not add a remote physical examination or device component without support in the controlling RFQ.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct vendor fit: conditional and not cleared. The RFQ permits a vendor entity to bid, but the bidder must actually provide a Board Certified family psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, proof of RN licensure, a current DEA number, malpractice insurance, onsite clinical coverage every Tuesday from 8 AM to 4 PM, a supervising physician available for required chart reviews and consultation, and 24 hour, seven day urgent provider coverage through the Eagle Eye Crisis Hotline. Atlas found no connected credential record establishing that Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare currently satisfies this complete clinical staffing package, so no direct submission is authorized.
Next Action
Before any direct response, verify documentary proof for every mandatory clinical staffing and credential requirement, including PMHNP Board certification and licensure, current DEA registration, malpractice coverage, supervising physician capacity, Tuesday onsite availability, and the required urgent coverage model. Monitor the Tennessee Tech bid page for questions, answers, amendments, or addenda through the October 16, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time deadline.
