The contract is specific to Suffolk County and involves a solicitation with a response deadline of February 13, 2025, with the contract commencing the following day and extending through the end of 2026. Vendors interested in providing similar products are encouraged to contact the designated procurement officer, Deborah Hooper, and must adhere to strict communication protocols mandated by New York State law, including restrictions on lobbying contacts and submission of vendor responsibility documentation.

The contract size is estimated to be between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and it is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Vendors who have previously secured similar contracts within the past five years, specifically Lifenet, are eligible to participate. Interested vendors can find additional details and respond through the official NY State procurement portal, with the primary contact being Deborah Hooper at Stony Brook University.
