Opportunity Overview
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Services for People with Disabilities, is accepting applications under DHHS90947 for peer support services for DSPD clients and their families. DHHS describes the service as support and guidance delivered by a peer who has lived experience as an individual with a disability or is a family member of an individual with a disability.
Open-Ended Procurement Structure
DHHS90947 is an open-ended Request for Statement of Qualifications that is intended to establish an Approved Vendor List. The current DHHS Purchasing page does not publish a conventional fixed closing date in its accessible listing. Atlas therefore treats the opportunity as rolling and open while DHHS continues to list it among open procurements.
Responses must be submitted outside U3P according to the official RFSQ application instructions. DHHS expressly warns vendors not to submit responses through U3P because those responses are inaccessible to DHHS. Questions and answers are maintained through the linked procurement process.
Population and Service Context
The current DHHS Human Service Solicitation Matrix identifies the population served as children and adults and assigns the procurement to DSPD. The core service is disability-focused peer support for people receiving DSPD services and their families.
Funding and Contract Value
The accessible official DHHS procurement page links a current rate table but does not state an overall funding pool, universal contract ceiling, or guaranteed service volume in the page text available to Atlas. Atlas has not inferred or invented a dollar value. Applicants should verify the current rate table, application package, and any U3P Q&A or amendments immediately before applying.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. DHHS90947 is a durable statewide contracting pathway with rolling evaluation and a clearly defined disability-services population. Its usefulness is concentrated among organizations that already possess genuine peer-support capacity and relevant lived-experience staffing.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The procurement purchases human-delivered peer support, not remote physical examination technology, telehealth equipment, or clinical hardware. No legitimate Nonagon N9+ or QC Healthcare clinical-services role is established by the verified scope. Dr. Miltie direct pursuit is therefore classified as No Bid unless DHHS materially changes the scope.
Potential Utah Applicant Profile
Organizations with established disability peer-support programs, family-to-family support networks, trained peer staff, and DSPD experience are the most realistic candidates. Utah Parent Center is a strong organization to review because its current public materials describe statewide parent-to-parent support, disability-focused peer support, and a Family to Family Network specifically serving families of people who are on the DSPD waiting list or receiving DSPD services. Atlas has not treated that public alignment as proof that every DHHS90947 qualification is satisfied.
Next Action
Potential applicants should review the complete DHHS90947 application instructions, scope of work, current rate table, DHHS Client Service Terms, and current questions and answers; confirm every mandatory qualification and any required registrations or supporting documents; and submit only through the method specified in the official application package.
