Due to the heightened need, shortage of supply and high price of PPE, a collaborative group of healthcare associations and organizations have come together to help facilitate group purchasing of vetted, high quality PPE.

WSDA and other healthcare organizations have joined together to make an initial group buy of BYD NIOSH approved N95 respirators (the same model of N95 WSDA provided earlier this year) and 3 Ply surgical masks – ASTM Level 3 with PPE.Exchange.

With an overwhelming participation response, we were able to negotiate better than expected rates: $2.88 per N95 respirator and $0.19 per Level 3 mask. Prices include shipping costs.

If you would like to join the order, there is still time. Please read the following directions, and then click the link to create your account and submit payment directly to PPE.Exchange.

1. Please follow all instructions listed on the payment link.
2. Click this link to sign up and to make your payment.
3. You may pay with a credit card, by bank ACH, or with a wire transfer. Please make your payment no later than Monday, Nov. 9, 2020 to ensure a timely delivery of within two weeks.

Some things to note:

• Orders can only be made by the case – The minimum order is one case, but you can easily join with others to purchase a case. Cases of N95 respirators include 20 boxes/960 individual respirators and cases of Level-3 surgical masks include 40 boxes/2,000 individual masks.
• Multiple small practices can join together to purchase one or more cases to be shipped to a single location and then split up by you.
• Billing is customizable and each practice will pay just their portion directly to PPE.Exchange.
