Subject: PPE Buyers - Please Vote
Here are the responses to your various questions:
- Art isn’t set up to be able to send out samples to individual customers as everything ships direct from the warehouse in California and he is in new Jersey. However, he will put
together a one-time sample pack of the majority of their current offerings, and send it to us so that we can take a look. Perhaps MHCA staff can collaborate with a local agency to evaluate the quality (if you are willing, let me know) He will also send,
electronic copies of every document of certification and quality control on all the products, as well as photos of the packaging showing details. Also, any individual customer can request photos of products and packaging prior to ordering.
- He does not have XXXL gowns right now but will explore his suppliers and see what he can do.
- Mandy reached out to Medline several times and they have not responded. We clarified that PPE-Buyers does not have a relationship with Medline. I do want to be sensitive to our Business
Partners; at the same time, other states have been doing this and none of them shared a down-side.
Two more states have signed on, with Illinois being the latest one this week.
Please reply all with your vote: Yes to move forward; No to not sign an agreement
Thanks everyone!!
Be Well,
