Yes, the UC San Diego Agreement supplier for dry ice is Linde (Praxair). Linde acquired CO2 Cool, which used to be the campus provider of dry ice. 

Dry ice is now sold by the pound (previously sold in 50lb quantities through STORE). Linde requires 50lb increments be ordered. To order a 50lb block, enter in a quantity of 50 when placing an order in Oracle Procurement. 

If you are establishing recurring deliveries of both pellets and blocks of dry ice, you will need to fill out an Amount Based request form in Oracle Procurement.

Contact the supplier directly for questions on dry ice and liquid orders.
