Intent to Sole Source Northwest Mother's Milk Bank

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, Office of Procurement & Contracts, is considering a sole-source contract award to Northwest Mother's Milk Bank on behalf of the Early Childhood & Family Support Division, with interested vendors invited to submit responses by September 11, 2026 at 12:00 AM MDT.

This is a sole-source procurement, not a competitive solicitation. DPHHS invites vendors who believe they can provide equivalent products or services to submit a detailed written response through the eMACS system demonstrating how their offerings meet the stated scope requirements. Responses must include company information, contact details, and a thorough explanation of service capability.

The scope is categorized under three NIGP commodity codes: Social Services—Family Social Services and Facilities (5801), Health Related—Medicaid Analysis & Audit (2611), and Health Related—Supplies (2619). The attached scope document details specific service requirements, which are accessible through the eMACS portal.

Questions and requests for clarification must be submitted via the Q&A Board in eMACS by the September 11 deadline. Dale Stout serves as the primary contact (Dale.Stout@mt.gov, 406-444-0546). The source does not identify contract value, term, or pricing terms.
