The Office of Acquisitions Management, Contracts and Grants (AMCG) provides the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness & Response (ASPR) with acquisitions and grants management oversight and support.

AMCG also provides functional support activities to ASPR including but not limited to: requirements analysis for Statement of Work (SOW)/Statement of Objectives (SOO), operations development and support, acquisition strategy development and tracking assistance to include contractual milestone development with measurable success criteria. AMCG also serves as ASPR’s focal point for Broad Agency Announcements (BAA), cooperative agreements, and the management, leadership and administration of grants.

AMCG ensures that all contractual and grant awards conform to applicable statutory, regulatory, and administrative policy requirements both pre and post award. AMCG also provides training, technical assistance and guidance to all stakeholders to assure consistency and compliance with all requirements of award.
