First published Thursday, June 29, 2017
The University awarded a contract for GE HEALTHCARE BIO-SCIENCES CORP.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which items available on the spot market or at discounted prices were available for a limited time such that sound business judgment mandated a purchase immediately to take advantage of the availability and price.
The manufacturer, GE Healthcare, provided the department a quotation on June 15, which offered us a significant discount of 15.65% on both the instrument and 4 years of extended service contract, and waived fees on installation and shipment of $20,000, if we can issue a purchase order by June 26, 2017. This will result in a purchase price of $821,273; if we choose to delay purchase, then the discount will be reduced to 4% with no additional discounts.
