Announcement of an Exempt Purchase

Surgical supplies that are used in a variety of neuro interventional procedures including neuro balloons, catheters, coils, guidewires, pipelines and interventional medical supplies.

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)) Without the required neurovascular supplies, the surgeons will not be able to perform and provide the proper level of care for patients. Patients would go elsewhere for their care and the Hospital would lose revenue.
