About this file
This document is a University of New Mexico (UNM) Proposed Sole Source Purchase Form for the procurement of the Amplatzer Piccolo PDA Occluder, a medical device for pediatric surgery. The request was submitted by Daniel Mills, Director of Cardiovascular Services, for Abbott as the sole vendor, with a proposed contract value of $70,000 annually for a three-year term with potential renewals consistent with New Mexico Procurement Code. The device is specifically designed for Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure in premature infants weighing 700 grams and up, and is currently the only FDA-approved device of its kind in the United States.
The sole source justification is based on the device's unique technical specifications, including an extremely low-profile 4 F catheter delivery system, a self-expanding design for closing PDAs with specific dimensional requirements, a tightly woven single-layer mesh, and a flexible delivery cable that allows precise positioning. Abbott's address is listed as 8701 Bee Cave Road in Austin, Texas, and the document indicates that an extensive web search was conducted to confirm no alternative vendors could meet the specific medical device requirements. The form was electronically signed by Jeffrey Gilmore on June 26, 2025, and will be posted on the UNM Sunshine Portal and New Mexico Procurement website for the mandatory 30-day review period prior to purchase.
