CURRENT STATE PROCESS
The Governor’s Office is currently prioritizing surgical masks and N95 masks as well as testing kits and cotton swabs. They will be purchased by DAS (department of administrative services)

They will soon be feeding this information into a statewide portal to match supply and demand. We will announce this portal when it is complete. If you would like to speak with the regional solutions team, county area contacts can be found here. When you send us your information we will share with appropriate state contacts and submit via this form
In the meantime, please register on the Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN) This will allow you be found by DAS and allow you to be considered by other State agencies as well.

FDA & ISO STANDARDS
Guidance on Production of PPE from the FDA Approval (RRF2591-110526)
Specific to the manufacturing of PPE in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the FDA is interested in hearing from manufacturers who may be able to help mitigate potential shortages of the below items by increasing U.S. availability of them. The FDA is collaborating with manufacturers of personal protective equipment (PPE) to help facilitate mitigation strategies related to the COVID-19 outbreak.
To help alleviate supply pressures, the FDA may consider an expedited review of manufacturing site changes or premarket submissions. Please note that the FDA is not waiving requirements; they are fast-tracking on a case by case basis.
All manufactures must comply with all CFR Title 21.
At a high level, the steps to achieve FDA approval generally are:
- Ensure you have a compliant Quality Management System
- Develop the product you would like to submit while maintaining required records
- Submit the product to an independent FDA certified lab for testing to ASTM Standards
- Submit product to FDA for approval
Manufacturers may email FDA. This email is carefully monitored and has proven to be a valuable resource thus far in helping FDA mitigate potential supply chain disruptions. To facilitate a rapid response to such inquiries, please go to this link to get additional information and to see an example of information that FDA would find helpful to have initially.
ISO Standards
To support rapid response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is providing access to key international standards supporting biological evaluation of medical devices; protective clothing used in health care settings; and business continuity management, security, and resilience. The coordinator of the U.S. voluntary consensus standardization system, ANSI is also the U.S. member body to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Through the ANSI portal, Freely Available ISO Standards to Help Address COVID-19 Crisis, the following ISO standards are accessible in read-only format at no cost during the crisis; additional standards may be added in the near future. ACCESS STANDARDS
