The University awarded a contract for medical supplies and medications.
This exemption is for medical supplies and medications including Heparin IV infusion bags, various antibiotics, thrombin, and others as needed for treatment of patients at the UI Hospital.
This purchase is exempt from the usual selection processes of the Procurement Code because the procurement expenditure is for medical supplies or medical at a university-operated health care center or dispensary that provides care, treatment, and medications for students, faculty and staff (30 ILCS 500 / 1-13(b-5)) In times of shortages, Pfizer will maintain a supply of the drugs in short supply for the emergency needs of their Vizient and regular customers. As a result, we will be able to provide our patients the medications needed while hospitalized.
