Customer Spotlight: TDI Technologies Manufacturing Face Shields to Battle COVID-19

In a time where so many of us feel helpless, TDI Technologies, Inc. is making a difference in the fight against COVID 19.

 

TDI Technologies, Inc. (TDI) is a local Research and Development Engineering Services company that provides innovative solutions to government and commercial clients utilizing advanced technologies. TDI is headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania with satellite offices at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

 

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, TDI is eager to become involved in contributing to solutions that help us fight the fight. To that end, TDI has a non-profit affiliate, ChariTdi, that is partnering with Temple University to manufacture face shields to help meet the shortage of PPE for frontline medical, healthcare and paramedic workers.

 

In conjunction with the Temple University COVID-19 Task Force and in a partnership with the Temple University College of Engineering, ChariTdi is establishing multiple temporary worksites in the Greater Philadelphia Region to manufacture the face shields to help meet a critical shortage of PPE.  As an industry partner, ChariTdi will be replicating many of the production methods being executed by Temple’s on-campus task force. The production involves pouring liquid plastics into a mold to create the head band pieces for the face shields. This process has increased the production capacity over 3D printing from about 5 per day to 50 per hour per volunteer.

 

TDI is operating at spaces in Philadelphia and its suburbs and is looking to recruit unskilled volunteers to assemble and pack the shields for delivery.

 

How you can help!

TDI Technologies is seeking volunteers! For as little as one 4-hour shift, you could make a world of difference! You can visit their volunteer site at https://volunteerforheroes.com, for additional information in volunteer opportunities as well as to facilitate volunteer intake. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please direct them to this website.  Click here to see Temple Now, which is the Temple University news feed showing all Temple Task Force contributions toward pandemic solutions.

Government Contracting Travel Simplified

As a Government Contractor with active travelers, you may need to be more attentive to your travel arrangements, as well as the rules and regulations around maintaining records that may be audited.

 

How is Government Contractor Travel Different?

Policies may vary according to your company, but all areas of travel may be affected by government regulations and subject to government spend audits.

 

Determining Your Regulations: FAR, FTR, and JTR

Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR): The set of regulations governing all acquisitions and contracting procedures in the Federal government.

Federal Travel Regulations (FTR): Rules and policies for travel by federal civilian employees and others authorized to travel at government expense.

Joint Travel Regulations (JTR): Regulations for DoD civilian employees and civilians who travel using DoD funding. The JTR contains regulations related to per diem, travel and transportation allowances, relocation allowances, and certain other allowances.
