Disposable scopes w/working channel reusable viewing screen

The University of New Mexico is soliciting a sole-source purchase of disposable scopes with working channels and reusable viewing screens from Bryan Medical, with a proposal due (or public review closing) date of August 28, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement — the central eligibility constraint — justified on the proprietary nature of the product (model BR-M25 MS-8) and its unique fit for pediatric airway surgery applications.

The scope is disposable scopes equipped with working channels and reusable viewing screens, specified for use in small pediatric patients undergoing airway surgery. The equipment must be small enough to pass through a 3.0 ET tube while maintaining clear visualization and functional working-port capability. No other vendor is documented to offer a scope meeting these combined requirements. Due diligence consisted of extensive web searches; no alternative vendors were contacted or identified as unable to meet specifications.

The total contract value is $103,680 over a three-year term with renewals consistent with New Mexico Procurement Code requirements. The sole proposed vendor is Bryan Medical, located at 6100 Wooster Pike, Cincinnati, Ohio. The request originated from Sarah Pietryga, CST/Service Coordinator in the Pediatric OR department, and was approved by Jeffrey Gilmore on July 29, 2026. The procurement is subject to a 30-day public review period on the UNM Sunshine Portal and the State of New Mexico Procurement website prior to purchase authorization.
