The US National Veterinary Stockpile (NVS) is the nation's repository of vaccines and other critical veterinary supplies and equipment. It exists to augment state and local resources in the fight against dangerous animal diseases that could potentially devastate American agriculture, seriously affect the economy, and threaten the public’s health.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 9 established the NVS in 2004. It required the NVS to deploy within 24 hours “sufficient amounts of animal vaccine, antiviral, or therapeutic products to appropriately respond to the most damaging animal diseases affecting human health and the economy…”  The directive reflects the nation’s concern that terrorists could simultaneously, in multiple locations, release disease threats of an unprecedented magnitude; thus, the need for an NVS that could deliver at the least cost, large quantities of critical veterinary supplies and equipment to the right place at the right time for as long as is necessary.

The NVS stores its inventory in multiple locations and in sufficient volume to ensure its ability to respond to multiple, large-scale, simultaneous animal disease outbreaks.
