This is a Sole Source Letter for Indigent Healthcare Solutions from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services. The letter states that the County intends to award a sole source contract to Netsmart Technologies, Inc. for the continued provision of an electronic health record system and related software and services to support the County's indigent healthcare program. The contract term is for 3 years with 2 optional 1-year extensions.

The letter outlines the justification for the sole source award, noting that Netsmart's software and services are proprietary and specifically designed to meet the County's unique requirements for indigent healthcare management. It states that Netsmart has successfully provided these services to the County for over 10 years, and that transitioning to a new vendor would cause significant disruption and increased costs. The letter confirms that the total contract value over the 5-year term is estimated not to exceed $27 million, which will be funded through the County's General Fund allocation for indigent healthcare services.
