Furnish, Deliver, and Warranty for a Laerdal MamaAnne Simulator for the Nursing Department. Fax Inquiry Deadline 12/2/2025

Southeastern Louisiana University's Purchasing Department is seeking a procurement for a Laerdal MamaAnne Simulator for its Nursing Department through an Invitation to Bid. The solicitation requires a comprehensive package including a maternity manikin with birthing baby, placenta, and C-Section module, along with a compatible patient simulator controller and monitor, training services, LLEAP software, and a five-year MamaAnne ProTech Coverage Complete. The procurement is highly specific and proprietary, with no substitutions permitted. Fax inquiries are due by December 2, 2025, with final bids required by 4:00 p.m. Central Time on December 16, 2025, to be submitted to the Purchasing Department in Hammond, Louisiana. Bid prices must be complete, inclusive of transportation and handling, prepared on an FOB Destination basis, and must remain firm for a minimum of thirty calendar days. The bid will be opened publicly on the submission date, with all applicable taxes (except Louisiana State Sales and Use Tax) to be included in the unit price.

The solicitation includes specific insurance requirements for potential bidders, mandating workers compensation insurance with $1,000,000 employers liability, commercial general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, and automobile liability insurance with $1,000,000 combined single limits. Louisiana provides a preference for products produced, manufactured, or assembled within the state, provided they are equal in quality to out-of-state alternatives. The winning contractor must execute an indemnification agreement protecting the State of Louisiana and the university from potential claims arising from the contractor's actions or omissions. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive insurance and indemnification clauses suggest a rigorous qualification process. The procurement appears to be a single-unit acquisition with no specified budget range, focusing specifically on obtaining a high-quality medical simulation system for the university's nursing education program.
