After a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, U Market awarded Matheson Gas the gas contract for the Twin Cities campus and Praxair the contract for outstate campus locations. As a result of the competitive process the cost of gas and cylinder rent will decrease for most gases.
The new rental rate is 13 cents per day for most cylinders covered under this contract. There are a few cylinders obtained under a contract that ended in 2011 that will remain at a higher rate. Please return these cylinders so that your department will begin saving on rental fees under our new contract!

Q: Why are the cleaning and kitchen supplies no longer available to order through Innovative?
A: Many of these items are available to purchase from U Market stock. If you have trouble searching for an item please contact the Customer Service Team at 612-624-4878.

MEET THE TEAM
Linda Woock
Linda Woock is the Strategic Sourcing Program Manager in Purchasing Services and one of the "hats" she wears is the supplier enablement coordinator for U Market. Once a supplier has gone through the vetting process, she works with the supplier and our U Market team members to coordinate the many steps involved in making a supplier available through U Market.
"There are so many parties involved and variations in technology that each supplier enablement is a surprisingly unique experience."
