About this opportunity
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is preparing to submit a grant application to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for the Federal Rural Health Transformation Program (CMS-RHT-26-001). This procurement seeks to identify and partner with rural health facilities across Berkshire, Dukes, and Worcester Counties to improve healthcare access, quality, and outcomes. The program targets healthcare providers including hospitals, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, community behavioral health clinics, and opioid treatment programs. Facilities must meet specific rural designation criteria, such as being located in a municipality with under 10,000 residents, having a population density below 500 people per square mile, or being a small rural or Critical Access Hospital. The NOI categorizes facilities as either Rural-Located (directly in rural areas) or Rural-Serving (serving rural patients), with participation contingent on being identified in Attachment A. Interested facilities must submit their information through the COMMBUYS procurement system by October 9, 2025, with the understanding that being listed does not guarantee sub-grantee status.
The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, focusing instead on rural healthcare facilities that can demonstrate capability to transform healthcare delivery. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the program emphasizes a collaborative approach to identifying and supporting rural healthcare infrastructure. Facilities must prove their ability to serve rural populations and contribute to the strategic goals of improving healthcare ecosystem transformation. The grant application suggests a comprehensive approach to addressing healthcare challenges in rural Massachusetts communities, though specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation. Potential participants should carefully review the Massachusetts State Office of Rural Health Rural Definition and ensure they meet the specified criteria for rural health facility classification.
