About this file
This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) document issued by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) for Rural Maternity Care System Analysis. MDH seeks vendors to engage stakeholders and conduct financial analysis to develop recommendations for models that promote financial sustainability of rural maternal care services. These recommendations will serve as the foundation for pilot grants to hospitals and health systems testing sustainable rural maternal care delivery strategies. The RFP was released on August 18, 2026, with a bid submission deadline of September 11, 2026, at 12:00 PM CDT. The deliverable is due by October 3, 2026. One item is being sought on a single contract.
Vendors interested in responding must be registered as bidders or suppliers in the state procurement system. The solicitation requests that responding vendors provide pricing information and upload all required attachments to be considered. The RFP includes evaluation criteria related to diversity and inclusion, specifically asking whether vendors meet Minnesota's Small Business Certification Program criteria, including whether they are Minnesota-based small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, women-owned businesses, disability-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, or located in economically disadvantaged counties. Interested vendors that meet these criteria but are not yet certified may be contacted by the Office of Equity in Procurement. The primary contact for the solicitation is Emma Distel at the Minnesota Department of Health (emma.distel@state.mn.us).
