This contract awards a five‑year, $400,000 sole‑source agreement to Evoqua Water Technologies LLC for preventive maintenance and service of the reverse‑osmosis (RO) water‑treatment equipment that supplies dialysis‑grade water to adult and pediatric dialysis units at the University of New Mexico Hospital. The work includes routine disinfection, field support, technical telecommunications assistance, and the provision of Evoqua‑manufactured parts and consumables to preserve medical‑device clearances and warranties. Because the RO systems are proprietary to Evoqua, no other vendor can perform the required service without risking compliance and warranty loss. The contract runs from 28 May 2026 through 28 May 2031.
• Scope: Preventive‑maintenance, disinfection, field and telecom support for RO dialysis water equipment.
• Vendor: Evoqua Water Technologies LLC – sole authorized provider of parts and service for the specific RO units.
• Value: Fixed $400,000 total (approximately $80,000 per year) over a five‑year term.
• Justification: Unique expertise and proprietary technology; competition deemed infeasible.
