Scorpius’ facilities are equipped to handle the production of biological products, offering both standard and custom solutions for the development of biopharmaceuticals. The company's manufacturing platform is designed for flexibility, enabling swift responses to emerging health threats. By becoming part of the RRPV, Scorpius expects to play an important role in ensuring preparedness for future public health emergencies such as pandemics and other biological risks.

BARDA, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), works to support the development of medical countermeasures such as vaccines, drugs, and diagnostic tools to counteract health security threats. The inclusion of Scorpius in the RRPV highlights the company’s ability to innovate in the rapidly evolving landscape of biomanufacturing.
