Paramecium caudatum, Living and 3 more items

Northern Virginia Community College issued Purchase Order 05450356 to Carolina Biological Supply on August 25, 2026, for the procurement of biological specimens and related shipping services. The contract, valued at $96.00, encompasses four line items delivered to the Biology department at the college's facility for Elizabeth Carr. The materials include two units of Paramecium caudatum (living culture), one Basic Protozoa Set (living), one package of Elodea (Egeria densa) containing 25 living specimens, and one FedEx small parcel freight shipment to facilitate delivery of these materials.

The contract represents a straightforward procurement of educational laboratory supplies consisting primarily of living biological specimens commonly used in introductory biology coursework, supplemented by associated shipping costs. All deliverables are designated for the Biology department's educational use, with the relatively modest contract value reflecting the nature of consumable laboratory materials. Carolina Biological Supply, serving as the prime contractor, fulfilled the role of sole vendor for both the biological specimens and logistics services required for this institutional purchase order.
