Description
The Medical University of South Carolina intends to enter into a sole source contract with Jaeger Medical America Inc. for the purchase of Vyntus One PFT and Vyntus Body Diffusion Systems, including a service plan and accessories. This procurement is justified due to the proprietary nature of the equipment, ongoing research needs, and the fact that Jaeger Medical is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Vyntus™ Family in the U.S. The equipment is essential for pulmonary function testing services used in research protocols and standard care, and changing suppliers would disrupt ongoing research reliant on proprietary data formats.
