Notice of Intended Single / Sole Source Purchase - Transport Ventilators

The Clay County Board of County Commissioners is seeking to purchase Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators and associated EMS packages from Hamilton Medical, Inc. for Clay County Fire Rescue. The justification for this single/sole source acquisition is that the Hamilton-T1 transport ventilator best meets the operational and clinical requirements of the department's emergency medical services. The key characteristics of the Hamilton-T1 include dynamic lung, closed loop ventilation with adaptive support ventilation, airway pressure release ventilation, and volumetric capnography. • The Hamilton-T1 provides advanced ventilation capabilities, including invasive and non-invasive ventilation modes. • It has integrated monitoring and extended battery life designed specifically for prehospital and transport environments. • The device allows providers to deliver consistent respiratory care to both adult and pediatric patients in high-acuity and dynamic field conditions. • Standardizing this equipment across the fleet supports continuity of care, simplifies training and maintenance, and ensures compatibility with existing clinical workflows and equipment utilized by the department.
