The University awarded a contract for Gaseous Helium.
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.
The University uses helium for multiple ongoing research programs and cannot have the supply interrupted. Due to a shortage of helium, Air Products is the only vendor that can supply the University at this time.
