The University awarded a contract for Help Desk for ILHITREC CHITREC to Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, for an estimated $100,000.

Northern Illinois University received a grant from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to provide services to medicaid providers outside of the City of Chicago in their transition to electronic health record systems and is required to provide hotline services for technical assistance to Medicaid providers. Northwestern University is the only other organization in Illinois that received a similar grant, and therefore, the only other organization that can provide these services under the terms of the HFS grant. This is a collaborative effort to provide seamless support between the two Illinois grants.

The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the organization is the only one that can be funded to provide these services under the provisions of the grant.
