The University awarded a contract for 55 kip Dynamic Universal Test Machine.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which items available on the spot market or at discounted prices were available for a limited time such that sound business judgment mandated a purchase immediately to take advantage of the availability and price.
Frank Bacon Machinery Sales Company has recently listed for sale a unique piece of used equipment that will meet anticipated needs of the High Bay Structures Laboratory, at significant discount as compared to purchasing the equipment new. New equipment costs $50,000 more and the University is receiving an additional 5% educational discount. This equates to an approximate 36% discount. They are also known in the industry to be a reputable vendor of used test equipment. The equipment is only on hold until September 21st.
