Opportunity Overview
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services currently lists DHHS90928 Adaptive Equipment as an open procurement. The open-ended Request for Statement of Qualifications establishes an Approved Vendor List for vendors that can furnish environmental adaptive equipment, assistive technology, or specialized medical equipment for people receiving Utah Division of Services for People with Disabilities services.
Funding and Deadline
DHHS does not state a total funding amount or universal contract ceiling in the accessible solicitation documents. Placement on the Approved Vendor List does not guarantee project volume or an award. The RFSQ is open-ended, with vendor responses evaluated continuously until the closing date posted in Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P). DHHS may close the solicitation on 30 days’ notice and may later reopen it when additional vendors are needed. Atlas could not retrieve the live U3P closing date through the accessible source path on September 11, 2026, so applicants should verify the current U3P record before submitting.
Vendor Eligibility and Qualifications
Respondents must be vendors of assistive technology, environmental adaptation equipment, or specialized medical equipment. Unless governmental or Tribal, a vendor must be registered with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code before contracting, although registration may occur after award. The scope also requires the contractor to become an approved Utah Medicaid provider for the community supports, community transition, acquired brain injury, and limited supports waivers and to complete the required Medicaid enrollment documentation. Contracted support coordinators are ineligible unless that support-coordination contract will be terminated.
Scope and N9+ Analysis
The scope defines assistive technology as an item or system that increases a person’s ability to perceive, control, or communicate in the environment, and specialized medical equipment as items that increase a person’s ability to perform daily living activities or medical equipment. Examples include lifts, vehicle modifications, ramps, adult strollers, bathing and toileting equipment, expandable door hinges, and comparable items.
N9+ Fit Score: 82/100, conditional. The Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform may be a legitimate direct-vendor fit only if DHHS/DSPD accepts the proposed configuration as specialized medical equipment for a qualifying DSPD client use case. Atlas does not assume that every N9+ configuration is allowable. Dr. Miltie should not advance a direct submission until the specialized-medical-equipment classification, required Utah Medicaid provider pathway, and applicant-controlled registration and certification requirements are verified.
Submission Requirements
Responses are submitted outside U3P by email to the procurement contact identified in the official submission instructions, with DHHS90928 and the business name in the subject line. Required documents include a completed and signed DHHS Data Sheet, completed and signed Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement, and IRS Form W-9 signed and dated within the prior six months. Questions and addenda are handled through U3P, and respondents should review the current U3P record before submission.
Approved Vendor List Status
DHHS also publishes an existing Approved Vendor List for DHHS90928. The current list includes multiple mobility, accessibility, assistive-equipment, and related vendors. The continuing open solicitation allows additional qualified vendors to seek placement while it remains open.
