About this file

This is a sole source letter from ARxIUM, Inc. to the State of Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS)/Department of Innovation & Technology, dated November 9, 2020, establishing ARxIUM as the exclusive provider of the MedSelect system. The letter confirms that ARxIUM is the sole supplier of all MedSelect equipment, proprietary software, software interfaces, interface engines, databases, add-on stations, and related support services in the United States. The MedSelect system is a medical item storage and tracking solution protected by 24 U.S. patents covering various aspects of medication cabinetry, cabinet systems, drawer security, lighting features, and access optimization.

ARxIUM's sole source status is substantiated through an extensive patent portfolio (Patent Nos. 6,963,791 through 10,342,740) that protects the technology's design, functionality, and operational methods. This sole source designation eliminates the need for competitive bidding and authorizes the State of Illinois to procure MedSelect licenses, support services, and related equipment directly from ARxIUM without soliciting alternative vendors. The letter was addressed to Lisa Akers, Procurement, Fiscal and Contracts Unit at IDHS, and signed by Contract Administrator Carrie Mainella on behalf of ARxIUM's authorized representative.
