The mission of the Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS), of the United States (U.S.) Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), is to ensure the availability and rapid deployment of life-saving pharmaceuticals, antidotes, other medical supplies, and equipment necessary to counter the effects of biological, chemical, radiological, natural disasters or other emerging infectious disease agents. When state, local, tribal, and territorial public health and medical systems request federal assistance to support their response efforts, DSNS ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during a public health emergency or pandemic event.

The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is a national repository of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medical supplies, and medical equipment stored in strategic locations around the nation. These assets are designed to supplement state and local public health departments in the event of a large-scale public health emergency that causes local supplies to run out. Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies are strategically stored in a network of warehouses across the country for rapid deployment to protect the U.S. population against 21st century health security threats, such as anthrax, botulism, smallpox, plague, tularemia and viral hemorrhagic fevers, as well as emerging infectious diseases, pandemic influenza, natural disasters, and other chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incidents.

The goal is to procure 26 Pharmaceuticals for the Strategic National Stockpile.
