The Statewide RFP option distributes your RFP to other case management agencies (CMAs) across Colorado so they can share it with their provider networks. It's a last-resort tool and should be used very sparingly — only in specific situations where it's truly the right fit.
How to Enable It
When creating a new RFP, go to the RFP Information section of the form and check the Statewide RFP checkbox before submitting.
Important: Local Providers Will Not Be Notified
Selecting Statewide RFP means providers in your own catchment area will not receive the initial notification. This is not an "also notify everyone" setting — it bypasses your local pool entirely in favor of statewide reach. If your local providers should still be notified, do not check this box.
When to Use It
Statewide RFP is appropriate only when the client is open to moving anywhere in Colorado to receive services and your local pool has not produced viable options. It is not the right tool if the client has a specific location or county in mind.
Before using Statewide, confirm:
You've sent a standard RFP and received insufficient responses
You've tried boosting with no viable results
The client is genuinely open to any location in the state
Client Has a Specific County in Mind? Use the County Filter Instead
If your client is open to relocating but has a particular county or region they'd prefer, don't use Statewide RFP. Instead, create a new standard RFP and select that county in the County field. This sends the RFP directly to matched providers in that area without routing through other CMAs.
What Happens After You Submit
Other CMAs across Colorado will be able to see and distribute the RFP to their own provider networks on your behalf. You'll receive proposals through the same proposals view on the RFP detail page.
