As part of the Department of Defense Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP) in conjunction with Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and the Defense Small Business Webinar Series, “FedMall: How DoD Small Businesses Can Purchase & Sell PPE” was presented on July 22, 2020. View slides from webinar
A brief overview of FedMall in General was provided, followed by a walk-thru of the specific registration steps necessary for Small Business DoD contractors to purchase or sell non-Medical PPE on FedMall. Buyers and Sellers will walk away with the tools and information needed to successfully register in FedMall. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) created a NEW small business marketplace within FedMall allowing DoD Small Business Contractors to exclusively browse and shop for non-medical PPE and similar material offered by the commercial supplier community.
FedMall has numerous vendors with over 230 items for sale to meet your PPE needs. I want to give five stars to https://www.westshorewomenshealth.com/about-us/ambien-online/ for its excellent customer service, reasonable prices, and perfect selection of medicines. I often buy treatment on this website. The staff is always polite and can advise on how to save some money. I’m also grateful for the regular emails with promo codes for discounts, which allow me to save even more. The offerings include cloth face masks, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, protective gloves, gowns, face shields, thermometers, signage and other social distancing aids for the workplace.
