Regional Prenatal and Pediatric Care Network Development

The contract seeks to establish coordinated regional networks that integrate prenatal, birthing, postnatal, and pediatric care services across Vermont, ensuring seamless access to comprehensive health supports. The initiative emphasizes the development of clear referral pathways and wraparound services that connect families with essential resources such as mental health counseling, nutrition support, transportation, and social services, particularly in underserved areas. Participation is limited to subcontractors who can demonstrate capacity to collaborate with local providers, health systems, and community-based organizations to build a unified, equitable care model that improves maternal and child health outcomes. The solicitation was posted on June 19, 2026, with proposals due by July 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM. While the contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 621410, which pertains to outpatient care centers, the emphasis is on systemic coordination rather than individual service delivery. The Department of Economic Development in Vermont is managing the process, though specific office details and points of contact are not provided. The place of performance spans the entire state, requiring applicants to have regional reach and experience working within Vermont's unique demographic and geographic landscape. Proposals must outline a scalable approach for sustaining the networks beyond the initial implementation phase.
