Background
The Health Partner Ordering Portal (HPOP) is an ordering portal for requesting and ordering COVID-19 therapeutic products provided at no cost by the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HPOP has been used by state, Tribal and territorial partners during COVID to order Paxlovid and Lagevrio and will be the ordering portal for any future therapeutic products allocated by HHS/ASPR.
New short-term initiative
As part of ASPR’s medical countermeasure ordering and distribution initiative, their Office of Industrial Base Management and Supply Chain (IBMSC) is now offering ordering and distribution of over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at no-cost to Jurisdictions via the Health Partner Ordering Portal (HPOP). Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) expects to have availability of test kits at least through the end of 2025.
As long as the kits are available from ASPR, Wisconsin (WI) DHS will continue to assist processing requests from local and tribal health agencies and public health organizations. Please note that COVID test kits are no longer available from the DHS warehouse.
Due to increased COVID-19 test kit requests from community-based organizations (CBO), including emergency shelters and other CBOs that provide services to people experiencing homelessness, DHS encourages increased engagement from local and Tribal health agencies with CBOs.
Process
To order COVID-19 test kits, organizations will need to first create an account in HPOP. All ordering will be done through HPOP. The product will be delivered directly to the organization approximately 7–10 days once the order is placed. Test kits will be available on a first come first serve basis. Test kits must be made available at no charge.
If your agency already has an HPOP account, please fill out the first section in this form and submit. The COVID-19 test kits will be added as a product available for your agency to order.
If you are a health care facility, skilled nursing facility, assisted living facility, non-profit group, Tribal local health agency or pharmacy, and do not have an HPOP account, please fill out the second section in this form and submit. An account will be created, and further instructions will be sent to the primary contact noted in the form. For questions, please reach out to dhsoperations@dhs.wisconsin.gov.
