In a memo dated June 10, 1997 from Wyl Parker, Director of Housing and the UC: "On May 22, 1997, a Request for Proposal for personal products vending machines, which included condoms, was sent to the following: Aladan Corp, Protocol, and Ted Hicks. The RFPs were due back to my office by Friday, June 6, 1997. To date, I have not received any responses... Due to the apparent lack of interest from companies in this business, we may consider not to pursue this any further." |
