The Department of Health and Human Services has awarded CyberPro JV a spot on its $150 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. Under the Professional Technical and Medical Staffing Support IDIQ, the joint venture will provide technical and medical staffing support to the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Responses.

CyberPro is a Small Business Administration-approved mentor-protege joint venture between Aveshka and Drodex.

Drodex CEO Pat Taylor said the small business has the people and expertise to help sustain and improve the office’s missions.

It works with state, local, tribal and territorial governments; hospitals; health care coalitions; and other partners to improve health readiness and response capabilities.
