First published Monday, November 20, 2023
The University awarded a contract for Bioplex reagents and supplies.
This exemption is for the purchase of reagents and supplies necessary for the operation of the Bio-Rad Bioplex multiplex immunoassay analyzers. These instruments perform HIV, syphilis, HSV, and other viral testing in the hospital Laboratories for UI Health patients.
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)) Patient specimen testing such as that performed on Bio-Rad instrumentation in the Laboratories is the standard of care and needs to be continued
