Healthlink boosts presence in the federal healthcare sector

IT consulting firm Healthlink Inc. of Houston, Texas, has signed a Schedule 70, five-year contract with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). Under the terms of the agreement, Healthlink is eligible to provide IT professional services to federal agencies as a primary contractor on a worldwide basis.

According to Healthlink, customers can use GSA Schedule 70 to support large-scale multimillion dollar development systems since there is no maximum order limitation.

Developed in 1992, Healthlink has had a presence in the federal healthcare sector since the summer of 2003, working closely with the Veterans Health Administration. The company has also been a subcontractor on work with the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Federal customers can access information about Healthlink's services through the GSA Schedules e-Library (http://www.gsaelibrary.gsa.gov/ElibMain/ElibHome) and searching on the keyword "Healthlink."
