Carbon Dioxide (CO2) CARBON DIOXIDE 50LB and 1 more item

The University of Virginia awarded contract A207_PO-0452417-V3 to Praxair Distribution Inc, effective August 1, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $144. The prime contractor will supply industrial gases to the contracting organization, specifically carbon dioxide and nitrogen products. The contract encompasses delivery of 30 cylinders of carbon dioxide (50-pound capacity) and 113 cylinders of liquid nitrogen (LC240, 22 PSI rating), with deliveries directed to the buyer's designated location.

This procurement establishes a supply arrangement for specialty gases commonly utilized in laboratory, research, and operational applications at an academic institution. Both line items are priced at $1 per unit, reflecting what appears to be a transactional or blanket order structure rather than a comprehensive service contract. The low aggregate value and discrete product quantities suggest this award may represent either an initial order under a broader supply agreement or a supplemental procurement to support University of Virginia operational requirements.
