Rhode Island EOHHS sought a vendor to provide technical assistance and financial administration for its Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) Health Information Technology Rural Infrastructure Fund, issuing subawards to rural providers for health IT infrastructure. The initiative targets equipment procurement, software upgrades, and innovation funding, prioritizing place-specific needs through technical assistance and prompt award management. The RHTP is federally funded ($156,169,931.19 to Rhode Island in year one) and aims to modernize and connect rural health systems in 18 towns and the Narragansett Indian Tribe. Selected vendor responsibilities include subaward application processing, provider technical support, and rigorous federal/state fiscal compliance. More than $10 million per year is estimated to be distributed in pass-through funding. The contract was awarded to 22nd Century Technologies, Inc. (contract SC-1000009985, $14,926,864.80, October 1, 2026 – August 31, 2028, with options to extend through 2031).
Eligible applicants are organizations able to provide both technical assistance and financial administration services needed to issue health information technology (HIT) infrastructure subawards to rural providers in Rhode Island. Applicants must demonstrate capacity to manage substantial federal pass-through funds (estimated upwards of $10 million per year), comply with CMS and state fiscal/reporting requirements, and operate robust internal controls. Proposals must include evidence of compliance with non-discrimination and civil rights standards. Registration in Ocean State Procures™ is required to submit.
