Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program is a critical initiative established by United States Federal Government under General Services Administration (GSA). This program enables state and local governments to purchase goods and services directly from GSA Schedule contracts to facilitate recovery efforts in the aftermath of a major disaster or emergency. The underlying purpose of the program is to ensure a quick, efficient, and cost-effective response to catastrophic events.
The program covers various emergencies such as terrorism, nuclear attacks, natural disasters, and public health emergencies, among others. Each of these situations requires a swift and effective response, and Disaster Recovery Purchasing Program allows local and state authorities to have immediate access to the resources they need. The program offers a broad range of products and services, including but not limited to IT equipment and services, engineering services, environmental services, logistics support, and much more. This program exemplifies GSA’s commitment to strengthening public safety and ensuring resilient recovery operations.
