This program will provide several benefits to both suppliers and buyers:
Suppliers:
* Provides you with national exposure to thousands of companies and government agencies (50,000+)
* Lists you a trusted, vetted PPE supplier by the SISE
* Levels the playing field for all suppliers regardless of size or location
* Increases sales channels and opportunities
* Provide a mechanism for you to communicate what PPE you have available
* Protects your information within the SISE
* No cost to you for participating
Buyers:
* Access to a SISE vetted list of PPE suppliers
* Saves staff time searching the web for unvetted or trusted suppliers
* Increases options for finding PPE suppliers across the U.S.
* Reduces legal and operational risks
Once completed, the National PPE Exchange will allow vetted customers who want to reduce their PPE purchasing risks to access the a secure, online, non-public website (via the SISE) and view vetted supplier information and any available inventory.
The inventory module is under development currently.
