This page provides ongoing information on supply chain issues that might impact your ability to acquire specific goods or cause significant increases in the cost of goods. 

January 2025

Departments may soon see cost increases on products commonly used on campus as a result of the incoming administration's proposed tariffs on goods coming from Mexico, Canada and China. The incoming president has indicated that he will pursue a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada and add another 10% to already existing tariffs imposed on China. 

The partnered supplier catalogs within Aggie Enterprise continue to be the best option for procuring most goods. However, if you notice significant price increases on goods regularly used in your teaching, research, or patient care, please reach out to the appropriate Strategic Sourcing manager to learn about potential alternative suppliers. 

August 2023

There is an industry shortage of the raw material required to make certain high use drugs. As a result, supplies are in short supply for the following drugs:

• Fentanyl
• Hydromorphone
• Buprenorphine
• Ketamine
• Midazolam

If these specific drugs are essential for your research, plan well in advance to ensure you receive the desired quantities. Many distributors have restricted distribution, and customer accounts are now on allocation, creating frequent backorders.
