Drosophila, Flightless, Culture, Living, Vial of 2530 and 3 more items

Carolina Biological Supply was awarded contract PO05472195 by Piedmont Virginia Community College on September 17, 2026, for the supply of biological specimens and related services. The contract, valued at $64.00, encompasses the delivery of living organisms commonly used in educational settings, including two vials of flightless Drosophila (fruit flies) containing 2,530 specimens each, one package of live worker termites (25 count), and one bundle of live Elodea tips. These materials represent standard laboratory and classroom supplies for biological instruction and experimentation.

The contract also includes FedEx small parcel freight services for the delivery of the aforementioned biological specimens. As the contracting organization, Piedmont Virginia Community College, located in Virginia, serves as the ordering entity and presumed place of performance for this purchase order. The relatively modest contract value reflects the nature of the procurement as a routine, limited-dollar acquisition of consumable biological materials and associated shipping costs necessary for institutional educational operations.
