This procurement has been cancelled

Published Thursday January 28, 2021

The University received quotes for this equipment below $100,000. The University will now do an "informal bid" and award a contract to the lowest bidder meeting specifications.

First published Tuesday, January 19, 2021

The University intends to award a contract for a mass spectrometer to Agilent Technologies, North America, Wilmington, DE, for $105,885.08.

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is seeking a sole source for an Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS).

The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the items are required for research and no other source is able to meet the researcher's documented needs.
