OD2A funds can cover the carry case.
nCase Lite is a silicone case that keeps a naloxone nasal spray on a keychain, a bag strap, or a belt loop, instead of in a drawer.
Requests in by Thursday August 27 still leave room for a quote and a purchase order before the 31st.
Can OD2A funds pay for a carry case?
Many programs assume anything naloxone-adjacent is off the table. The distinction is between the medication and the distribution activity around it. Carry cases sit on the distribution side.
That is our reading of the guidance, not official guidance. Your program officer and your grants administration make the call for your award.
We wrote it up so your grants office can read it directly. Three pages, quoting the CDC language, with the wording your grants office can paste into a determination.
A case, and nothing more than a case
Single-body silicone with a swivel-hook keychain. The spray sits in a cradle and lifts straight out. Nothing to unclip or unscrew.
One-handed to open, with no clasp, thread or hinge to fail. It ships unbranded by default, with a QR sticker that links to the manufacturer's administration instructions, or to a local resource page you choose.
Naloxone nasal spray is not included.
Your branding, two ways
The simplest route is a replacement QR sticker carrying your own code or logo, applied over ours. We can produce them, or point you to a vendor so your team can apply them for less.
At larger volumes a logo can be embossed into the case itself, and the color matched to yours. That route carries a one-time tooling fee, after which repeat orders carry none.
Quote, purchase order, delivery. No call required.

Back within one business day, with unit pricing and a written description of the distribution use your grants file can reference.
You issue the PO
Or approve the invoice. Delivery follows.
- Purchase orders
- Government purchase orders accepted. Vendor registration completed where required.
- Payment
- Purchase order, ACH, wire, or card. Terms available for health departments and government agencies.
- Volume
- Minimum order 25 units, with tiers through 2,500 and above. Discounted pricing for health departments, government agencies, nonprofits and first responder teams. Ask for the tier sheet below.
- Invoicing
- We can invoice a fiscal sponsor or parent organization instead of the program directly.
- Obligating by August 31
- Under 2 CFR 200.1 an obligation is generally established when the order is placed, and programs commonly treat a dated purchase order or approved invoice as the obligating document. Delivery can follow later. Confirm with your grants administration.

Please note. Whether a specific purchase qualifies under a specific award is a decision for your program officer and your organization's grants administration.
Nothing on this page is grant guidance, legal advice, or an accounting opinion, and none of it commits CDC or your awarding office to any position.
