ethanol 218 ppm/ isopropyl alcohol 21.1 ppm/nitrogen and 5 more items

The Virginia Department of Forensic Science awarded contract PCO05485304 to Intermountain Specialty Gases on September 30, 2026, with a cumulative value of $2,233.95. The contract encompasses the supply of calibration gas mixtures used in forensic laboratory operations, with all deliveries directed to Debra Myers. The gas mixtures include five distinct formulations: methanol at 39.6 ppm in nitrogen; ethanol at 218 ppm combined with acetone at 130.1 ppm in nitrogen; ethanol at 218 ppm combined with isopropyl alcohol at 21.1 ppm in nitrogen; ethanol at 218 ppm combined with methanol at 39.6 ppm in nitrogen; and ethanol at 218 ppm in nitrogen. Each formulation was ordered in a quantity of three units, with unit prices ranging from $110 to $150.

The contract includes six line items, with five dedicated to the specialized gas mixture products and one allocating $193.95 for shipping charges. These calibration standards are essential consumable materials for forensic laboratory analytical equipment and testing procedures. The relatively modest contract value reflects the limited scope of this procurement, which represents a single purchase order for specialty laboratory gases required by the Department of Forensic Science's operations.
