Colleagues:
Below are some helpful items for your teams:
· FEMA fact sheet: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic: Addressing PPE Needs in Non-Healthcare Setting
· CIO COVID-19 website: https://public.cyber.mil/covid19/
· USD(I) is closely monitoring the security challenges posed by the pandemic and stands ready to assist industry. To that end, DoD has approved a number of companies to provide fingerprint services to the MilDeps, Agencies, and Industry. OUSDI&S learned that FieldPrint is the largest of the vendors with more than 1300 locations across the United States and its territories. We encourage everyone to go through the list of approved vendors (please email Katie Levantovscaia at KLevantovscaia@USCHamber.com for the list) to see which one best meets their needs. Also attached is the USD(I) memo on fingerprints guidance.
· DLA hosts monthly webinars to educate small businesses and others about DLA's mission and opportunities to participate in contracts. The next DLA webinar is scheduled for May 13 at 2:00pm Eastern Time, and folks can register by sending an email to Alandra.Jones@dla.mil.
