The University awarded a contract for medical products.
ERBE USA, Inc. supplies medical products utilized in endoscopic procedures. These supplies are essential for delivering sterile water and air to an endoscope during endoscopic procedures. The components used in these procedures include tubing, caps, port connectors, sheaths, and probes.
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)) These supplies are essential for direct patient care. Without access to these supplies, the hospital cannot offer certain endoscopic procedures. Consequently, the University will be unable to perform these procedures, causing patients to seek care elsewhere. This will result in a loss of revenue for the University.
