Microflex Gloves Research Products Competitive Bidding Project

Purchasing Services has launched a new Microflex Gloves Life Sciences Research Products Competitive Bidding Project that is intended to produce an industry "best-in-class" discount pricing agreement enabled in the Penn Marketplace, and streamline the distribution channel through a sole source distributor. This project is a strategic sourcing initiative designed to maximize the University's buying power.

Phase I

Phase I of this project is a formal competitive bidding project launched in early January 2008 for a new "best-in-class" discount pricing agreement and sole-source distribution channel that covers the entire Microflex glove product line.

Phase II

Phase II of this project is to review bidder proposals, select an authorized distributor, and launch the formal contract with awarded distributor enabled in the Penn Marketplace in early February 2008.

Please direct all questions regarding this commodity project to David Staskin in Purchasing Services.

Contract Award

The Microflex Glove discount pricing agreement has been awarded to Fisher Scientific, a preferred contract and Penn Marketplace participating supplier.
