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 intends to enter into a sole-source purchase agreement with Biosense Webster J & J for the renewal of service and software upgrades for the Carto 3 System. This procurement, identified by solicitation number UHSS530-26, is valued at 300,000 dollars and is intended to cover a term spanning from October 15, 2026, through October 15, 2027, although some documentation suggests a potential three-year term. The justification for the sole-source designation is based on the proprietary nature of the technology and the necessity of maintaining compatibility with existing systems currently utilized by the UNM Cath Lab. This action is a notice of intent to purchase under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-126, meaning the contract is not yet executed. Alternative sources may be submitted within 15 calendar days of the notice. The procurement is managed by the University of New Mexico Hospital in the state of New Mexico, with a response deadline listed as November 15, 2026.
