Technology Assessment - RHTP

The State of Idaho, through the Rural Health Transformation Plan and Program, is seeking a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive technology assessments across healthcare facilities throughout the state, with a particular emphasis on rural and underserved communities. These assessments will evaluate the current state of technology infrastructure, operational capabilities, technology maturity, interoperability readiness, and workforce preparedness, all guided by the goal of long-term sustainability. The contractor will be expected to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement, ensuring that technology investments align with future healthcare delivery needs and support equitable access to care. The solicitation is posted under number 1375 with a response deadline of August 21, 2026, and is funded under a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services cooperative agreement. The work will be performed statewide, with no specified location restrictions, and is intended to inform strategic planning and resource allocation within Idaho’s healthcare system. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in conducting large-scale health technology evaluations and a proven ability to engage with diverse, often under-resourced, healthcare settings. The effort is a foundational component of the state’s broader initiative to modernize and strengthen rural health infrastructure.
