AIV, VMEC, VT PTAC, RDCs and other partners are working together and with the the state to identify Vermont manufacturers and other businesses who can currently supply, or could convert operations to supply, products and services needed by Vermont authorities and other response leaders in the COVID-19 crisis.  Donations and referrals to suppliers are also encouraged.  We are also working to identify the same for federal efforts as opportunities evolve. 

The current priority list for the state is:

• N95 Respirators
• Surgical Masks
• Full Face Shields
• Goggles
• Surgical Hoods
• Gloves
• Boot Covers
• Booties
• Tyvek Coveralls
• Impermeable Aprons
• Coveralls
• Gowns
• Fluid Resistant Gowns
• Surgical Gowns

NOTE:  The state is also asking for non-medical masks that Vermonters can use in accordance with CDC and Department of Health guidance.

You can also respond with other products or services you believe would be needed.  The list above might evolve over time, and identifying other items in advance could be helpful.

As the list of state needs continues to evolve, we will be updating this survey on an ongoing basis and keeping respondents to this survey up to date.   

We will be sharing your contact information and responses with the appropriate state and other response authorities for any further follow up, and also with VMEC, local partner and MEP National Network representative, who will follow up with you regarding any technical or other assistance you might need, including supply chain connections.

As part of this effort, VMEC has now set up Manufacturing Exchange-Vermont at mxvt.org.   This online collaboration platform is intended, in part, to help Vermont companies interested in contributing to Vermont's critical supply needs but require assistance in finding design information, supply chain partners, and other mutual assistance and cooperation.  VMEC will contact you about participating in this Exchange. 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us at info@aivt.org, or contact VMEC at vmec@vmec.org.  For other COVID-19 related surveys and resources, go to www.aivt.org or www.vmec.org.
