Notice of Intent - Bunnell High Frequency Jet Ventilator

The Utah Valley University is issuing a Notice of Intent to negotiate and award a sole source contract for the purchase of a LifePulse High Frequency "Jet" Ventilator from Bunnell. The ventilator is needed for the UVU respiratory therapy lab to teach students how to operate the equipment before entering clinical rotations. The university believes that there is no alternative high frequency jet ventilator that would provide the same benefits academically as the one proposed. The contract is expected to be awarded without a competitive bidding process, but interested parties can respond to the notice by providing documentation that demonstrates their capability to meet or exceed the requirements stated. • The LifePulse High Frequency "Jet" Ventilator is a specialized medical device used in respiratory therapy. • The device is widely utilized in Utah neonatal intensive care units. • The university is seeking a sole source contract due to the lack of alternative devices that provide the same benefits. • Interested parties can respond to the notice by providing documentation of their capability to meet or exceed the requirements. • The deadline for responses is 12/29/2025 2:00 PM MST.
