The Indian Health Service plans to award a sole source contract to Estenda Solutions, Inc. for the continued development, operation, and support of the IHS-Joslin Vision Network Teleophthalmology Program across Urban Indian Health Care clinics, Tribal Health Clinics, and IHS hospitals and clinics. The government determined that Estenda Solutions is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements due to its existing role and proprietary expertise in sustaining the program.
