The Department of Defense’s COVID-19 Joint Acquisition Task Force (JATF) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), in coordination with interagency partners, will be hosting a virtual information day regarding current and future demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) on Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15.

The purpose of the event is to provide current and potential suppliers of PPE an understanding of U.S. government demand, including an overview of the tranche 2 requirements for DLA (in support of HHS), as well as the long-term demand for PPE across the coming year based on market research. The event will also include major trade associations providing their medical and non-medical grade PPE requirements in order for industry to return to full work capacity.

Current and potential domestic producers of PPE (end-items as well as sub-tier suppliers of material) and major trade associations and members, representing consumers of PPE are the target audience.

This virtual zoom event will be held on two days: Tuesday, July 14, and Wednesday, July 15.
