The University awarded a contract for Philips EPIQ 7C Ultrasound System.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
The conditions and circumstances requiring this emergency purchase, including reason for selection of the particular contractor are: Hospital has been constructing a Hybrid Operating Room under specific conditions as outlined under the Health Facilities Planning Act (HFPA) in which all construction and equipment must be purchased, installed and in use by June 15, 2017. Institution has been seeking to obtain approval under the Illinois Joint/Cooperative Purchase guidelines pursuant to Section 25-15(b) of the Illinois Procurement Code (30 ILCS 500) for the purchase of the Philips EPIQ 7C Ultrasound System, but has encountered delays in approval that would cause this purchase to extend beyond the deadlines established by the HFPA which will cause unnecessary penalties, delays and interrupted services to the patients of the University. Vendor must receive order immediately in order to ship equipment to meet deadlines above.
