Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for the update and transparency. We appreciate the opportunity to offer our products. If there ever is a situation where you are looking to go elsewhere please do let me know so I can see if we can work anything out. I enjoy working with your team and would love to continue our partnership.
If you could share who you went with and what there offer was that would be really helpful in future improvements.
Thank you,

Subject: RE: quote for 88121-CDF -- smaller amount
Hi Andrew,
For the smaller amount, we had to go with another vendor. We have been asked to do more with less and the other vendor was able to address that need.
As for the larger order (under quote 5700), we are still assessing all our options. We had a reorganization across the institute that has caused some unforeseen delays in workflow processes and additionally we have some administrative hurdles to clear before we can move forward with certain purchases. We will let you know as soon as we can.
