Airgas eCatalog Launch Update
The launch of the new Airgas eCatalog, originally scheduled for August 14, 2026, has been postponed to allow for additional testing and ensure the catalog is fully functional and ready to provide the best possible experience for the VCU community. We will share an updated go-live date as soon as it is confirmed.
Once enabled, VCU departments will be able to purchase industrial, medical and specialty gases, laboratory and safety products, welding supplies, and related items through the new Airgas eCatalog in RealSource.
The catalog will appear under Scientific & Medical in the RealSource Showcase and will provide direct access to VCU pricing while streamlining requisition and purchase-order processing. Users should select the Airgas account associated with their department and delivery location before shopping.
In the meantime, we encourage our customers to attend the two virtual training sessions already scheduled with Airgas.
Airgas Virtual Training Sessions
Airgas will offer two virtual training sessions covering catalog navigation, account selection, quotes, and order placement.

The new eCatalog does not change the cylinder rental and pricing structure established under VCU’s current Airgas agreement. Departments may review the existing Airgas Contract Renewal and Changes to Cylinder Rental Billing post for additional information.
With the addition of Airgas, RealSource now offers 58 eCatalogs.
