General Motors (GM) is the first company to sign a government contract under the recently invoked Defense Production Act (DPA), with a commitment to producing 30,000 ventilators as the COVID-19 surge strains supplies.

The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) announced Wednesday that GM has signed the contract, worth $489.4 million, under the Korean War-era emergency statute.
