New Way to Order Compressed Gases and Related Equipment

The university will soon transition to place orders for compressed gas cylinders and related equipment through a new RazorBuy catalog for Airgas! RazorBuy and Airgas Inc. will work together to improve the way the U of A will order and track gas cylinders and their contents on our campus. In addition, a new Airgas store will be located at the Surplus Warehouse on Eastern Avenue to provide quick delivery of cylinders and supplies to campus.

Airgas orders will be placed through the RazorBuy catalog but will be delivered in the same manner as end-users have received them in the past. In this new process the university will receive individual invoices from Airgas and receiving shall be done in BASIS, as with any other vendor purchase.

The Razorbuy program will be conducting an in-depth training on the use of the Airgas catalog on Wednesday, Feb. 10. Two training sessions are scheduled for that afternoon, one at 1 p.m. and another at 3 p.m. Register for the training sessions at: 

 Please note that if you want to make your orders personally, you will need to be approved by your department as at least a shopper in RazorBuy and receive training from the RazorBuy training coordinator. Please direct any questions on RazorBuy access to rbtrain@uark.edu or razorbuy@uark.edu. For those who already shop in RazorBuy, only the catalog training is needed and recommended.

 We know the addition of the Airgas catalog in RazorBuy is a big step in the right direction for users of compressed gases and equipment and the Razorbuy program wants to thank you for your time and understanding as it moves forward to implement this new catalog. The information received through the Airgas catalog will enable the university to improve the tracking of these types of hazardous materials for our campus community. The program's goal is to implement an efficient process which will enable users to order compressed gases and supplies for classroom and research needs.
