Connect with Our Team

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly tested the U.S. public health supply chain and industrial base. It has strained global supply chains and exposed critical vulnerabilities in the Nation’s ability to deliver effective health care during times of high demand.

Through our industrial base expansion efforts, ASPR is helping to make our nation’s industrial base more resilient, diverse, and secure. ASPR is working with our partners across government and industry to strengthen public health and medical supply chains and to address concerns regarding domestic manufacturing and supply chain surge capabilities.
