Request PPE

There is an extremely limited Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) available for order. It is very important that you realize that submission of a resource request does not guarantee your order will be filled. Orders will be prioritized based on critical healthcare and current supplies. 

Before submitting a PPE request you must prove that you have taken the following steps:

  1. Follow CDC’s guidance on optimizing PPE Supplies.
  2. Reach out to multiple vendors. If vendors cannot supply your order, keep the documentation.
  3. Reach out to other partners in the area. Many jurisdictions are already sharing with each other.
  4. Reach out to partners outside of the area. Partners in other states might have extra supplies to help bridge gaps in back orders.
  5. Review the PPE sharing resource tracker and directly reach out to a partner on the list. 
    1. See the resource tracker and partner list here
  6. If you have completed these steps and have read the Resource Request Process (PDF), you can submit a healthcare order form through the link below.
