COVID-19 testing reagent kits and supplies needed for the operation of Abbott's M2000 PCR platform. The Hospital laboratory has been performing COVID-19 testing on Abbott equipment since March 2020.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for medical supplies or medical services necessary for the delivery of care and treatment at medical, dental, or veterinary teaching facilities utilized by SIU or U of I (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b-5)) Without the reagents and supplies necessary for operation of the instruments, the Hospital will be unable to perform high throughput COVID testing for its patients.
