The United States' emergency response to current deteriorating humanitarian conditions due to natural disasters and complex emergencies around the world require USAID/OFDA to immediately purchase commodities to increase warehouse inventory to levels to both support ongoing responses and field operations and provide lifesaving timely responses to unpredictable future disasters.  The capacity of the United States' Government to quickly respond to international emergencies is dependent on having access to the requested commodities in a timely manner. To accomplish this, USAID/OFDA maintains stockpiles of commonly requested materials. As these commodities are drawn down to fulfill emergency requests, they need to be replenished in preparation for the next emergency situation.
