The University awarded a contract for Paragard.
This exemption is for Paragard, a non-hormonal intra-uterine device.
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)) This is a popular choice of IUD implants and supplies for UI Health patients. Without access to these IUD implants and supplies, the Pharmacy would not be able to deliver proper care to patients under the University's care, which would drive patients elsewhere and result in a loss of revenue to UI Health.
