Who Qualifies?
• Businesses or nonprofit organizations registered to do business in the State of Indiana with the Indiana Secretary of State
• Those employing less than 150 associates
• An organization that must use PPE to reopen and comply with safe workplace requirements
Examples – Restaurants, retail sales, personal services, and office environments.
Businesses should try to order PPE, using the state market place as a backup
All businesses and nonprofits are encouraged to first source and procure PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) on their own with the Marketplace serving as an alternate backstop for employers. While the state will make every effort to provide needed supplies, it cannot guarantee the integrity of the PPE supply chain due to increasing demands worldwide. All requests will be evaluated and fulfilled based on work environment risk profile, stock availability, and the number of outstanding requests. At times, partial or delayed fulfillment of requests may occur.
Does it cost?
The state of Indiana is initially fulfilling orders at no charge. When that will changes will depend on a number of factors.
What PPE can your business receive?
The marketplace bundles will consist of masks, hand sanitizer and face shields.

State Readies PPE Marketplace to Support Hoosier Small Businesses
INDIANAPOLIS (May 1, 2020) – Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced a new marketplace for personal protective equipment (PPE) that will serve as an added resource for Indiana small businesses returning to work in the coming weeks. The Indiana Small Business PPE Marketplace, which is expected to launch next week, will ensure reliable access to PPE for small businesses and nonprofits lacking the resources needed to comply with safe workplace guidance during the reopening.
The Marketplace, developed by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) in partnership with the Indiana Small Business Development Center and the Indiana Office of Technology, will leverage PPE that is being manufactured and sourced by Indiana businesses across the state to help support supplies.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, Indiana is home to approximately 104,335 small businesses that employ 941,578 Hoosiers across the state. To learn more about COVID-19 resources and no-cost counseling available to Indiana entrepreneurs and small businesses, visit isbdc.org/indianacovid19smallbusiness.
