The primary contact for inquiries is Gabrielle Tanski-Shaver, a Senior Management Analyst at the NYS Unified Court System, reachable via email or phone. This notice confirms the continuation of services without the need for competitive bidding due to the single-source exemption, ensuring uninterrupted vision coverage for the specified personnel throughout New York State.
