Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response's contract dollars, traced to the source.

Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response · Department of Health and Human Services

The Administration for Strategic Preparedness & Response (ASPR) is the HHS component that leads national preparedness for public-health emergencies, running BARDA and the Strategic National Stockpile to develop and procure medical countermeasures against pandemics and CBRN threats. Its ~$1.39B in FY2025 contract obligations are overwhelmingly medical-countermeasure development & manufacturing: mRNA and pandemic-influenza vaccine advanced development (Moderna, Seqirus), smallpox/mpox and anthrax vaccine procurement (Bavarian Nordic, Emergent), domestic vaccine-facility construction, and large BARDA consortium task orders (Advanced Technology International). Nearly every top award is a countermeasure R&D, scale-up, or stockpile buy rather than a services or IT vehicle.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't

This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the Office of Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response awarding sub-agency. It shows where ASPR's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice reported on USAspending, not ASPR's total budget authority or appropriations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Health and Human Services monitor.
