# DLA Awards $226M St. Louis ATNAA Contract

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Meridian Medical Technologies, Kindeva’s division, a sole-source contract worth up to $226 million to supply Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent Autoinjectors (ATNAA), with potential deliveries exceeding 3 million units. Production is planned at Kindeva’s St. Louis-area campus. Because the award is sole-source, the direct competition is closed; the more relevant opportunity for other contractors is in supporting supply-chain, manufacturing, or related medical-countermeasure capabilities.

- **Why this matters:** The award supports DLA’s supply of nerve-agent antidotes and demonstrates a significant demand signal for domestic medical-countermeasure production.
- Companies with relevant manufacturing, component, or supply-chain capabilities can evaluate whether they can support Kindeva’s production effort or related medical-countermeasure needs.
- Procurement teams should distinguish between the sole-source award itself and potential adjacent work; the signal identifies supporting capabilities, not a separate solicitation or confirmed subcontract opportunity.
