Sole Source Purchase of Lucia CT Lens 602

The University of New Mexico/Hospital is seeking to purchase Lucia CT Lens 602 from Carl Zeiss Meditec USA, Inc.

The lens is a proprietary item and is only available from the proposed vendor. • The lens is designed for good capsular bag stability and to eliminate capsular bag stretching • The lens features a 360° square-edge design to reduce PCO • The lens is available in sizes ranging from 4.0 to 34.0 in ½ step increments • The purchase is for a term of 3 years with renewals • The total amount of the purchase is $100,000.00
