Summary of Procurement
NIH anticipates awarding multiple procurement actions to acquire up to 50 million nitrile gloves to support needs throughout HHS. The estimated total value of all orders is $10-$11 million. The nitrile gloves that meet mission needs can be obtained from domestic manufacturers; however, they cannot currently be sourced with 100% U.S. components. The gloves are 70% comprised of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), a material component that is not currently produced in sufficient quantities in the United States.
