The California Department of Education (CDE) would like to make all LEAs aware of the option to purchase masks through statewide contracts in order to reduce costs.

The California Department of General Services (DGS) has established contracts for six types of masks, all NIOSH or FDA certified. These include N95 masks that are vented, non-vented or surgical, and surgical masks at levels 1, 2 or 3. Standard or bulk pricing is available.

You can submit a purchase order directly to the contractor. Go to DGS Statewide Contract for Masks website to select a contract, download user instructions and contract pricing contract information guide and contract product information. Then go to Cal eProcure to submit a purchase order.
