Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment for New York (CANS-NY) Assessment Tool Amendment_C037762

The New York State Department of Health intends to continue the services currently provided under the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment for New York (CANS-NY) Assessment Tool contract (#C037762) for an additional 4-months with the University of Kentucky Research Foundation for the term of 9/1/2025-12/31/2025. A competitive procurement for this service was not feasible because Dr. John Lyons holds the copyright of the CANS-NY Tool and no other vendor has access to this tool through Dr. John Lyons. The extended contract will allow for continued training and certification in the use of the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment for New York (CANS-NY), as well as provide maintenance of the assessment tool, both of which are required under the 1915c Children’s Home and Community Based Services Waiver.
