RHTP-Montana Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) Technical Assistance

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the State Procurement Services Division, is requesting proposals for technical assistance in developing a statewide Community Health Aide Program (CHAP) under the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), with proposals due October 1, 2026 at 2:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time.

The scope requires vendor assistance with developing and implementing the CHAP framework statewide. Offerors must demonstrate qualifications relevant to program development and rural health transformation initiatives. The contract is structured as a lump-sum agreement covering a five-year period and is funded in part through federal sources, requiring the awardee to obtain a Unique Entity ID number and complete Federal Form NDA889.

Montana Prevailing Wage Requirements and specified insurance requirements apply. Payment terms are Net 30 with no advance payment discount. Offerors must meet all mandatory requirements: completion of business information documentation, thorough response to the Scope of Services document, demonstration of qualifications, and submission of a detailed cost proposal. The State reserves the right to reject contract exceptions that violate law, materially alter material provisions, or substantially replace contract terms; offerors may submit proposed exceptions using the Contract Exception template.

An optional pre-proposal conference is available. No estimated contract value is disclosed in the posted materials. Questions are due by the October 1 proposal deadline.
