Government Procurement of Covid-19 Equipment and Advisors Raises Questions
Recent actions by the Biden administration have caught the attention of observers, as increased procurement of Covid-19 equipment and the engagement of advisors on “safety protocols” have led to speculations about the possibility of new measures, including potential lockdowns.
Focus on Covid-19 Equipment: Contracts issued by government agencies, including the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), have come to light, revealing significant allocations for the acquisition of testing kits and related equipment. Notably, many of these contracts are slated to commence in the upcoming months.
One example involves a $1.5 million contract awarded by the DOD to Hologic Sales and Service LLC. This contract outlines Covid-19 testing services expected to begin in October, with a duration extending through May 2024.
Similarly, the VA has entered into agreements with three distinct companies, collectively totaling $6.6 million. These contracts encompass viral testing, testing supplies, and consultations concerning “adequate Covid-19 safety protocols for federal contractors.”
These developments coincide with a heightened focus in the media on the possibility of an increase in Covid-19 cases. Reports also suggest that the Biden administration is deliberating the gradual reintroduction of certain measures, potentially including lockdowns.
The implications of these actions and potential plans are subject to ongoing observation and analysis.
