Maybe it's just the game this year. I'm impressed when my kids work through just 20 feet of 1"x1"x.063" Tube!
Does 254 keep records on an spread sheet of all stock material purchases? Seems like your list was copy paste

This is pretty typical. We have probably 4x this in inventory from previous years in assorted sizes. Some of this will likely last until next year also.
I don't keep an inventory of what we have in stock, but I did make a spreadsheet to organize what I needed to get quoted.
We too use Coast Aluminum. Pricing is pretty good, but after 8 years their truck driver still can't understand that we are not available at 7 AM in the morning to accept deliveries when they show up to the real NASA shop with their metal.
