The University awarded a contract for Center for Organ Recovery & Education.
Purchase of human cadaveric organs for transplant. The procurement of these organs is necessary to support critical medical procedures and ensure the availability of viable donor organs for transplant 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)) If the exemption is not approved, the State may experience increased costs and delays in obtaining cadaveric organs needed for transplant procedures, which could disrupt timely medical care and result in higher administrative and clinical expenses.
