New York State Department of Health seeks to continue sole source contract with University of Chicago School of Medicine for the CANS-NY assessment tool, ensuring training, certification, and maintenance under the 1915c waiver. Dr. John Lyons holds exclusive copyright.
New York State Department of Health intends to continue the services currently provided under the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment for New York (CANS-NY) Assessment Tool contract (#C037762) through a new sole source contract C042472 with the University of Chicago School of Medicine. Dr. John Lyons, who holds the copyright of the CANS-NY Tool, is transitioning from his role at University of Kentucky Research Foundation to UCSM effective 1/1/2026. This transaction will allow for continued training and certification in the use of the CANS-NY, as well as provide maintenance of the assessment tool, which are required under the 1915c Children’s Home and Community Based Services Waiver. A competitive procurement for this service was not feasible because Dr. John Lyons holds the copyright of the CANS-NY Tool and no other vendor has access to this tool through Dr. Lyons.
