AI Summary
NY State Dept. of Health AIDS Institute offers $50,000 funding to three contracts for hepatitis C point-of-care testing instruments to enhance rapid diagnosis and treatment in opioid treatment programs, supporting hepatitis C elimination by 2030.
The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute intends to add one-time funding of $50,000 each to three (3) contracts in the Hepatitis C Nurse Care Coordination in Opioid Treatment Programs initiative. This funding will allow each participating site to purchase a hepatitis C point-of-care diagnostic testing instrument and associated supplies. This instrument provides a diagnosis within one (1) hour of testing, which will allow programs to rapidly identify and begin to treat clients who are positive for hepatitis C, reducing the number of patients that are lost to care between testing and diagnosis. New York State has committed to eliminating hepatitis C by 2030; increased capacity for testing and treatment will support progress toward this goal. Due to the specific circumstances of this procurement and the unique qualifications of the selected entities, a competitive procurement was not feasible in this instance.
SLED stands for State, Local, and Education. These are solicitations issued by state governments, counties, cities, school districts, utilities, and higher education institutions — as opposed to federal agencies.
