CD USP50CARBON dioxide USP 50LBS CGA 320 and 1 more item

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) awarded contract A236_P0337669-V2 to Airgas on June 19, 2026, for the procurement of specialty gases. The contract totals $153 and comprises two line items: two units of United States Pharmacopeia (USP) grade carbon dioxide in 50-pound cylinders with CGA 320 valve connections, priced at $39.03 per unit, and one unit of liquid nitrogen in 160-liter capacity rated at 22 pounds per square inch, priced at $75.39. Both products are to be delivered to VCU Procurement in Virginia.

This procurement by Virginia Commonwealth University represents a straightforward commodity purchase of industrial and laboratory gases from a national specialty gas supplier. The relatively modest contract value of $153 suggests this is either a small-scale or sample order, or one component of a broader purchasing arrangement. As the contracting organization is a major academic institution located in Virginia, the place of performance and delivery is Virginia, with both line items fulfilling routine laboratory or research support functions typical of a university research environment.
