[All] [CS] FW: [EXTERNAL] Old Invoices from Airgas in Alaska

[Czech, Erin P. (ARC-SGG)]

I think it's a billing mixup. This happened before and it was related to an Airgas account that was opened in Anchorage for ATom. I thought the account was closed but apparently not. I will reach out to Airgas to try to resolve this.

    ESPO,
    Does anyone have any idea what this charge might be? The only FY20 C-20 campaign to Alaska that I can find is a UAVSAR FR 20G012 and that isn't ours.
    Any thoughts?

        Hi Marilyn,

        It was nice catching up this morning.

        As I mentioned during our call, Airgas in Alaska recently invoiced us 
        for $24.20.  In conversation with the vendor representative, we were 
        informed that our Airgas account had been linked to Pegasus Aviation 
        Services in Anchorage, Alaska.  We still are awaiting details from a 
        manager at Airgas regarding how and when our account was linked to this 
        entity in Anchorage.

        The representative did provide the attached old invoices going as far 
        back as October 2019.  I asked NSRC team members about this and 
        understood that their group hadn't been to Alaska since ATom. Dave 
        mentioned that the AFRC C-20 was in Alaska in December 2019 per the 
        calendar.  Furthermore, Adam mentioned that the type of supplies ordered 
        per the invoices would be something that an aircraft FBO (such as 
        Pegasus Aviation Services) would typically order for their normal 
        operations (e.g., industrial nitrogen for filling of aircraft tires, MIG 
        welding wire, compressed gas fittings, etc.).

        So, at first appearance this would seem to just be a billing mix-up with 
        these charges being the responsibility of Pegasus Aviation Services.  
        Anyway, I thought that it would be good to double check on our end 
        before getting back with Airgas.

        Cheers,

        Mark
