One-Year Renewal with a One-Year Renewal Option to the Term Contract for EZ-IO Needles for the Mesa Fire and Medical Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
This contract provides intraosseous (IO) needles for Mesa Fire and Medical paramedics. IO needles establish an effective means to deliver fluids and medications to patients in critical condition. The IO line is as efficient as an intravenous route, but can be inserted more quickly and can be used on patients with a compromised circulatory system, where an IV cannot be used.
The Mesa Fire and Medical Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the renewal with the sole source vendor, Arrow International, Inc., at $120,000 annually, based on estimated usage.
