The university of new mexico(UNMH) is looking to renew the service and software upgrades to the carto 3 system that is currently being used at UNMH

The University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) is soliciting a sole-source renewal of service and software upgrades to the CARTO 3 cardiac mapping and navigation system, with proposals due November 15, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement; competitive bidding is bypassed.

The incumbent and sole-source awardee is Biosense Webster, a Johnson & Johnson company. Biosense Webster is the only entity capable of providing authentic parts, proprietary software, and manufacturer-specific technical support required for the CARTO 3 System. The renewal covers ongoing technical support, software updates, system maintenance, and replacement components necessary to sustain the electrophysiology department's advanced arrhythmia management and treatment capabilities.

The sole-source justification rests on compatibility requirements and the proprietary nature of CARTO 3 technology. Funding is sourced through UNMH's operating budget. 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.
