The Division Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS) of the United States (U.S.) Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response (ASPR), has determined that life-saving pharmaceuticals contained within the Push Packages are needed to respond to an unknown possible terrorist attack on the citizens of the US. Territories, tribal, public health and medical systems need the right medical supplies transported to the Seattle Washington and Miami, Florida public health facilities within twelve (12) hours after the President of the United States along with the HHS Secretary both declares under the Public Health Act- a public health emergency and signed an Executive Order to immediately deploy stockpile assets such as; medical equipment and pharmaceuticals from the Strategic National Stockpile following the signing of the executive order. ASPR-SNS Logistics Operations is directly responsible for making sure that critical medical and pharmaceutical assets be deployed within 120 minutes after the president declares a public health emergency and a national threat to the homeland security of the country. ASPR-SNS Logistic Operations will need to instantly move 2 Push Packages (120 containers packed with various lifesaving Pharmaceuticals) via air cargo to the Seattle Washington and Miami, Florida public health facilities to protect the citizens from immediate death or emerging infectious disease agents that may cause irreparable health damage to the local population. The

ASPR-SNS Logistic Operations will provide the secured delivery locations to where the Push Packages will be either delivered or transported through trucking or air cargo into airports around the country. The contractor needs to rapidly deploy ground truck assets within 120 minutes after notification via email from the SNS Logistic Operation team. Additionally, the SNS requires the contractor to participate in annual readiness exercises, drills, and no-notice events. What level of contractor’s executive management participation will be offered to SNS to participate in no-notice exercises or drills?

In your proposal, describe your technical capability and management approach to respond to the above scenario based on the Performance Work Statement—Page limitation 3 pages.
