Procurement Fair 2016
Procurement Services had our first ever combined Travel and Purchasing fair showcasing our Travel and TechMart suppliers. We had a wonderful turnout and positive feed-back from campus. We hope you had a chance to come by and participate, enjoy our photobooth and eat some deli-cious desserts provided by our suppliers. We hope to see you next year!

Purchasing Highlights
New Employees:
Armando Munoz, Purchasing Agent
Armando has worked as a Buyer for the Los Angeles County Office of Education and as an IT Procurement/Inventory Specialist at Bank of the West. He is familiar with bidding procurements, negotiating long-term contracts, issuing RFP’s and applying strategic sourcing to identify and consolidate materials in order to maximize cost saving opportuni-ties. With 12 years of experience under his belt, we know his experience and personality will make him an exceptional fit to not only the Buyer’s team, but to the entire Procure-ment Department.
Mario Zavala, Purchasing Agent
Mario comes with 13 years of procurement/purchasing experience from the United States District Court. He started as a Records & Procurement Manager, and was promoted up to a Certified Procurement Officer Level III. His experience includes procurement admin-istration, marketing and negotiations, warehouse management, internal and external au-dits and contract compliance. We are excited to bring Mario onboard as his wealth of knowledge in procurement will be very beneficial to our team.

New Process for Ordering Compressed Gases for Research Labs
Purchasing Services is excited to announce that Caltech has a new preferred compressed gas provider, Airgas! After successful negotiations, Caltech signed a contract with Airgas to provide compressed gas, specialty gas, and gas mixtures at a minimum 35% discount off list price.
The Facilities Department is transitioning from their current process of ordering cylinders of compressed gases for lab use to a more efficient and streamlined way. To simplify the ordering process, research groups will be able to order compressed gases directly through TechMart, rather than through the Facili-ties Department. The TechMart pricing will reflect negotiated discounts (starting at a minimum of 35% off list price) that are available to Caltech through TechMart.
Coming soon, Airgas will be setup as a Punchout supplier in TechMart!
If you are interested in purchasing through TechMart and do not currently have a TechMart account, please contact [email protected].

Purchasing Services and VWR are pleased to announce, effective immediately, the VWR Stock-room hosted catalog is now available for shopping in TechMart. Click on the VWR International Stores tile in TechMart to place an order for an in-stock item and then pick up your order the same day!
