About this file
This is a sole source procurement document for the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) seeking to renew service and software upgrades for the CARTO 3 System, a cardiac mapping and navigation system currently in use at the facility. The procurement is designated as a sole source award to Biosense Webster, a Johnson & Johnson company, recognizing the specialized nature of the equipment and the need for continuity of service. The document outlines the renewal of existing service agreements and software upgrades necessary to maintain the operational capability of the CARTO 3 System. The contract involves ongoing technical support, software updates, and system maintenance to ensure the cardiac electrophysiology department can continue providing advanced arrhythmia management and treatment capabilities. The sole source justification indicates that Biosense Webster is the only entity capable of providing authentic parts, proprietary software, and manufacturer-specific support required for this specialized cardiac mapping system.
The procurement establishes a renewal arrangement with the incumbent vendor, Biosense Webster, based on compatibility requirements and the proprietary nature of the CARTO 3 System technology. As a sole source award, the contract bypasses competitive bidding procedures, which is permissible under procurement regulations when only one vendor can satisfy the requirement. The funding for this renewal is sourced through UNMH's operating budget, with costs reflecting the specialized nature of cardiac electrophysiology equipment support. The contract renewal ensures uninterrupted access to critical software patches, technical expertise, and replacement components necessary for patient safety and clinical performance standards in the electrophysiology laboratory.
