In the office, I keep a duffel bag with work gloves, 24" pry bar, hard hat (cheap at your local home store), dust masks, and about six liters of water under my desk.

I also include a couple of 6" emergency bandages as well as a couple of boxes of 3x4" non-stick pads and several rolls of tape.

The first aid supplies are intended to use on other survivors. The idea is those are basically give-aways.

I suggest you pre-stash any supplies you may need and not rely on the vending machine. Whatever is in the vending machine is going to become "community property", and it is going to be way too little to address the needs of your entire office.

I plan to migrate the climbing harness into this bag as well along with about 200' of 5mm New England Tech Cord and an PMI Personal Escape Decender*. I think I'll leave my existing 3mm Tech Cord in my pack, but moving the harness to the duffel with save a fair amount of weight and some bulk.

Over all, the idea is if you are stuck in the building, you need water and potentially some extraction leverage. But... ultimately the duffel isn't hugely valuable and is intended to be disposable in case of emergency.
