The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) awarded a single-award $834 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Rapid Deployment Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation, to provide Emergency Response Support Services (ERSS). This allows ASPR to rapidly deploy critical resources for public health emergencies, natural disasters, and other crises both domestically and internationally.
Under this IDIQ, ASPR has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Rapid Deployment Inc. to support a range of contingency operations, including COVID-19 response, hurricane relief, and wildfire containment. The task orders span a variety of emergency support services such as facilities management, transportation, lodging, catering, medical equipment, and personnel. The orders do not have set-aside designations, indicating Rapid Deployment competes for these contracts in the open market. This contract vehicle demonstrates Rapid Deployment's capacity to provide large-scale, rapid response capabilities across multiple federal agencies responding to public health and disaster events.
