Leave it to government to impose expiration dates on non perishables such as masks.

Hey!

If they don’t get rid of the old stuff they don’t have an excuse to buy new stuff.

And of course they are getting rid of this stuff just in time for the next phony pandemic.

They will probably be buying back this stuff from the people they sold it to at a premium.

Why do inert gowns, masks and gloves have expiration dates?

[blackdog]

My mom used to sell stuff to the government. She would respond to solicitations for items they want to buy. She would frequently buy the items past their expiration date at surplus auctions. She would then re-test, re-package, and re-sell the same goods when solicited again. She asked the procurement officers if that was OK? They said that yes, it is as long as the materials are within specifications in the bid solicitation. She asked why they put expiration dates on items that don't expire? The procurement officer told her they can't allow no expiration goods into the federal procurement system, so everything expires in 3 to 5 years.

A waste of billions the government demands it waste.
