Sole source purchases require written justification by the requesting department and subsequent approval from the appropriate professor, researcher, principal investigator, department chair or director. A justification could explain, for example, that a particular type of equipment with lower specifications would adversely affect the ability to effectively teach or conduct research. Scientific equipment may be tax exempt if it is used solely for research purposes and paid for from a sponsored account. This policy applies to both capital equipment and fabricated components that are used to build a larger system. It is ASU policy that all compressed gases be bought through the gas division of Lab Stores.
Delivery is available to any lab at all three campuses.
