Dear Colleagues,
Procurement Services, in collaboration with Schools and Centers, has partnered with preferred supplier EMSCO-Fisher to identify opportunities to reduce costs on commonly purchased general lab supplies — including PPE, glassware, plasticware, and basic chemicals.
What can you do?
Please utilize these preferred suppliers for your purchases whenever possible. By shifting to these preferred suppliers and items, Penn’s labs can benefit from:
- Lower unit costs
- Consistent product availability
- Free shipping
- Maintained product quality (i.e., same form, fit, and function)
Please see the attached document for details on these preferred items.
We greatly appreciate your participation in utilizing our preferred suppliers as it will directly contribute to Penn’s efforts to manage external costs while supporting research priorities.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Mike Talley (mgtalley@upenn.edu), Research & Life Sciences Procurement Category Lead.
Thank you for your partnership.
