The Purchasing Department has received the following request for sole source procurement
Current date: 20250711
Product and/or Service to be purchased: AI Sleep Test Scoring System
Sole Source Supplier: Ensodata, Inc.
Earliest Proposed Purchase Date: July 11, 2025
Buyer Name: Spencer Bischoff
Sole Source Justification:
Ensodata is the only vendor who offers the use of AI in it’s product to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of it’s sleep scoring software. This is based on talking to the vendor’s representatives and reviewing specifications on the respective web sites. Ensodata has proprietary software which is why modifications cannot be made.
Similar capabilities from sleep scoring software were investigated at national and local conferences. Ensodata utilizes AI to learn the scoring methods of the sleep techs who overscore the studies. The AI tool then takes that learning and applies it to the next set of studies that are scored, thus learning what we consider best practice and increasing accuracy of the results. The other competitors only autoscores but does not learn from the feedback of the staff.
