This document outlines a sole source justification for a federal contract opportunity with the Defense Health Agency. The agency required an immediate on-shoring consultant support effort to implement a presidential executive order ensuring essential medicines, medical countermeasures, and critical inputs are made in the United States. The end result would provide a roadmap for DoD to rapidly respond to chemical and biological threats without relying on foreign entities. The contract was awarded on September 17, 2020 for an unknown amount to an unknown vendor. It had a base period of 30 days with options to extend services up to an additional 120 days.
