Resources for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The NCOS has compiled the following list of potential resources for PPE. We will continue to update this information as more resources become available. Supply levels for PPE change often – some sources below may have equipment immediately available, others may not. We recommend checking these sources routinely, after utilizing your normal resources for PPE.

This is not an endorsement of any company or product, and the NCOS is not attesting these resources meet CDC or NCDHHS requirements. Offices are responsible for the appropriate use and adherence to all PPE requirements.

For your reference, the following resources may prove helpful as you purchase PPE:

ImageMark Business Services

ImageMark Business Services, a printing, branding and marketing company located in Gastonia, NC, has recently begun providing COVID-19 signage and other related resources specifically designed for eye care. 

ImageMark has created floor stickers for social distancing, hand-washing reminders for restrooms, banners for sharing office protocols, face masks and shields, hand sanitizer and other PPE (some of which can be branded), and they have a disinfectant that is FDA-approved for killing the COVID-19 virus.
