As New York City reopens after Covid-19, small businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations throughout the five boroughs will need to procure supplies in order to operate safely and efficiently. The Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation Council, with volunteer support from TTP and local industry partners have launched the NYC PPE + Reopening Supplies Marketplace. The Marketplace provides a one-stop-shop for easy-to-access suppliers of (i) face masks and coverings, (ii) face shields, (iii) gloves, (iv) cleaning and disinfectant products, (v) physical barriers and portable furniture, and (vi) other supplies needed for re-opening. This is the initial phase of the marketplace and it will continue to evolve with more features. It represents both local and national suppliers and manufacturers to provide a wide-range of order minimums.

To help keep your business, employees, and customers safe the City has compiled this directory of local and national suppliers and manufacturers of non-medical PPE and other reopening supplies for Covid-19 related workplace modifications. Please be advised that the City does not endorse any entity on this list, verify the accuracy of the contents contained herein, or attest to the quality of the products offered by the business entities listed.
