The University awarded a contract for resin microspheres implants.

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)) Sirtex Medical, Incorporated supplies have to do with direct patient care. Without access to these specific supplies, the hospital will not be able to offer procedures and care, which in turn would drive patients elsewhere and result in a loss of revenue for the hospital.
