CRER-0334 - Video Remote & Over the Telephone Medical Interpreting Services

SUNY Stony Brook University Hospital has secured an exemption from advertising requirements to extend its existing contract with Cyracom International for an additional three months, ending on April 9, 2025. This extension is granted under the authority of the Office of the State Comptroller, recognizing Cyracom as a sole source award recipient, which allows the university to bypass the standard competitive bidding process. The contract pertains to the provision of video remote and over-the-telephone medical interpreting services, essential for facilitating communication in healthcare settings across all New York State counties. The contract, valued between $50,000 and $150,000, is part of the State University of New York’s efforts to ensure accessible language services within its hospital operations. The solicitation for this extension was posted on April 2, 2025, with a response deadline of April 9, 2025. Any inquiries regarding this sole-source procurement should be directed to Roshni Rahman, the Contract Officer III at Stony Brook University Hospital, via email or phone. This arrangement underscores the importance of maintaining uninterrupted interpreting services, which are critical for patient care and communication within the healthcare system.
