The University awarded a contract for Diasorin's Liaison system and supplies.
Purchase of supplies necessary for the operation of the Diasorian Liaison sample-to-answer platform. The instrument is used to perform testing of UI Health patients for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Types 1 and 2 and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) by polymerase chain reaction.
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)) By having on-site testing, medical staff obtains results much quicker than if tests were to be sent out to a reference lab. This will decrease the time it takes to get results. As a result, providers can provide quicker care to patients.
