Purchasing, along with General Stores and Receiving, have been partnering to source scarce PPE and sanitizer items for departmental purchase. Currently stocked are:
- Hand Sanitizer – sizes 4 oz to 1 gal
- Disinfecting wipes and sprays
- Procedure masks
- Face covering, reusable
- Face shields
- Nitrile gloves
- Touchless thermometers
- Other PPE related supplies
We anticipate that many of these items will continue to be in short supply with wildly varied pricing and will have vendor allocations this year. Multiple buyers have worked tirelessly to obtain the best prices currently available.
Prior to returning to campus, we recommend that you order soon or during July to allow for allocations or items temporarily out of stock.
For orders placed with General Stores, please ensure someone is available to receive orders in your department or place the order for WILL CALL at General Stores. WILL CALL orders should be picked up within 5 days of order.
Please contact General Stores directly if you would like to place an order. Some items may not currently be available; however, we will actively source and fill orders as soon as possible. If there are PPE items you would like to purchase that aren’t currently stocked, please call to discuss.
