FEMA Region 3

Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 3, a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Homeland Security, procures emergency management supplies, disaster relief services, and regional response support across the Mid-Atlantic and surrounding areas. The agency executes contracts on behalf of FEMA's operational footprint in Region 3, which includes Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, with activity extending to support federal disaster response and preparedness initiatives.

Region 3 has awarded 1,035 federal contracts totaling $943.8 million in combined potential value since 2003, with $332.8 million obligated to date. Award volume has declined notably over the last five years: 77 awards in 2017, 50 in 2018, 32 in 2019, 44 in 2020, and 65 in 2021, with the most recent recorded award dated September 2021. The long interval since the most recent award suggests the portfolio reflects completed disaster-response cycles and may not represent current procurement momentum; the latest activity on file predates recent emergency declarations and funding mobilizations.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. The agency has engaged 419 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio history, indicating substantial vendor breadth and low concentration. Set-aside utilization is minimal: 81 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while small-business set-asides of all types account for only 16 percent of the award count, with HUBZone representing the largest small-business category at 3 percent of awards. SDVOSB, 8(a), EDWOSB, and WOSB designations each account for 1 percent or less of awards.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data. The absence of active solicitations or posted opportunities, combined with the September 2021 most-recent-award date, indicates that Region 3's contract rollup is not currently reflecting new procurements. Business development activity should account for this gap in recorded activity and verify whether Region 3 is currently accepting competitive bids or operating under extended awards and modifications from prior disaster declarations.
