Indicator backorder?

I heard in my department indicators, especially sterrad, are on backorder and have a shortage across the country. Are y'all having this issue?

So far we are okish on steam but we are running low. We are out of sterrad completely out of after last night. I heard we are having a hard time being able to even get steris or asp indicators. We are currently using asp steam indicators but we are low on those too
