The University awarded a contract for cardiovascular ultrasound system maintenance.
This exemption is requested for the purchase of a full-service maintenance and support agreement for the Cardiovascular Ultrasound System used in the Echo Lab.
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 this exemption is not approved, the State may incur significantly higher costs through time-and-material repair services, which could potentially double or triple current maintenance expenses. In addition, the absence of an Annual Service Agreement would increase the risk of prolonged equipment downtime, potentially disrupting patient care and reducing operational efficiency within the Echo Lab.
