Supply Request Form: Global Links COVID-19 Southwest PA Request for Materials (April 22, 2020)

  • DHS is now partnering with Global Links for supply requests. Keep in mind that the global supply chain is disrupted for all PPE, so quantities are limited. Available supplies include:
    • Disposable facemasks (NOT N95 respirator masks)
    • Emergency facemasks (reusable, not intended for clinical use)
    • Full-face shields
    • Gloves
    • Incontinence supplies

    To submit a request, use Global Links’ online ordering form.

    • Please limit requests to no more than what is needed for a two-week period.
    • The form requests specific information about how the PPE will be used, such as # of clinical staff, # of clients seen daily, # of clients living in your facility and plans for appropriate use of the PPE.
    • After submission, Global Links will contact you within 1-2 days for confirmation.
    • DHS will help prioritize supply requests and will step in if supplies are needed that Global Links cannot source.
    • Delivery of approved requests will occur 3-5 days after confirmation.
      • All deliveries should be contactless.
      • Deliveries must be made to a dock or curbside. Drivers cannot enter a building or facility.
      • Drivers are expected to wear PPE while delivering materials and to practice social distancing (maintaining at least 6′ of distance from another person).
      • Signature on the Global Links delivery order is only required for the driver, not from the receiving organization.
