This opportunity is for medical providers who can offer services to eligible Mississippi women, including those who are uninsured or underinsured and at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. Providers can apply as primary or secondary providers, including OB/GYNs, surgeons, mammography facilities, and hospital or outpatient surgery facilities.

This opportunity was published on September 11, 2025. The deadline for submitting your response is March 31, 2027, at 6:00 PM ET. All responses must be submitted by this time.
Since this is a non-competitive opportunity, eligible medical providers who meet the program's qualifications are invited to apply. Late submissions will not be considered.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for healthcare firms and medical providers specializing in breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services. This includes OB/GYNs, surgeons, mammography facilities, and hospital or outpatient surgery facilities.
Firms with a focus on serving medically underserved populations, including uninsured or underinsured women, and those with experience in public health programs, will find this particularly relevant. The program targets women aged 50-64 for breast cancer services and 21-64 for cervical cancer services, especially Black, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander women from rural and urban communities.
