The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, specifically the Public Health and Safety Division's Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Bureau, is seeking contractors to implement and deliver the Montana Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) through a Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered DPHHS-RFP-2020-0293R. This procurement is specifically targeted at current Montana DPP sites that have been delivering the program for two or more years, with the goal of continuing diabetes prevention services. The RFP requires potential contractors to submit several key documents, including an Offeror Qualifications document, Budget Line Item and Justification Form, and Budget Reporting Tool Template. The solicitation was released on April 24, 2020, with proposals due by May 18, 2020, at 2:00 PM MDT, and the anticipated contract period spans from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. Contractors will be responsible for providing comprehensive DPP implementation services, with the procurement structured as a lump sum total service without specific product line items. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Rhonda Grandy, and vendors must comply with additional requirements such as submitting a Dark Money Declaration form and an Equal Pay for Women Certificate.

The RFP is exclusively available to existing Montana DPP sites with a minimum of two years of program delivery experience, effectively restricting new market entrants from participating. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Payment terms are established at 0% 0, Net 30, with commodity codes related to health services, medical services, medical research, and health-related services.

The solicitation utilizes standard health services procurement mechanisms, suggesting a continuation of existing program infrastructure and technology. No incumbent vendors were specifically highlighted beyond the requirement that current MT DPP sites are eligible to respond. The procurement aims to ensure continuity of diabetes prevention services through a structured, competitively bid contract mechanism.
