The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of balloon catheter products including SAPPHIRE NC24 models, SAPPHIRE II PRO models, TREK models, and SCOREFLEX NC models in various sizes and configurations, each designed for specific coronary dilatation procedures and available as single-use, sterile units. The contract term runs from July 1, 2026, through the expiration of the Premier contract, with no previous identical or substantially similar contracts awarded within the past five years.

Vendors offering equivalent Abbott Laboratories DIC balloon catheters are invited to contact the hospital's purchasing department to discuss the procurement, provided they can demonstrate clinical equivalency to the specified products and meet the performance standards of the Abbott products. Interested vendors must be authorized distributors of Abbott Laboratories catheters as listed on the Premier contract or must provide approved clinical equivalents supported by free clinical documentation and equipment for demonstration and trial. The successful contractor must provide valid and current New York State Workman's Compensation and Disability Forms. Procurement is subject to New York State Finance Law Sections 139j and 139k (lobbying law), and vendors are restricted to contacting only the designated purchasing contact, Honey-Beth Nelson at nelsonho@upstate.edu, to avoid violations that could result in contract denial or debarment from sales to any New York State agency.
