FEMA Region 6

Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 6 is a civilian sub-agency within the Department of Homeland Security that executes disaster relief, recovery, and emergency-preparedness contracts across Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. FEMA Region 6 awards contracts for facility operations, emergency response, disaster mitigation, and recovery work at its Denton, Texas campus and throughout its five-state jurisdiction.

FEMA Region 6 has issued 4,955 federal contract awards since October 2003, with combined potential value of $3.55 billion and $3.16 billion obligated. Activity has declined significantly in recent years: 290 awards in 2017, 190 in 2018, 143 in 2019, 130 in 2020, and 38 in 2021. No awards are recorded after September 2021, meaning the portfolio has been inactive for approximately five years. The agency works with a highly fragmented contractor base of 2,361 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio lifetime, indicating broad vendor participation and no dominant prime.

Eighty-one percent of FEMA Region 6 awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 14 percent of awards, including 8(a) sole-source and competitive awards (3 percent combined), HUBZone (1 percent), and other small-business categories under 1 percent each. The agency rarely awards to women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or disadvantaged-minority-owned small businesses.

FEMA Region 6 has recorded no contract awards since September 2021. No recent contract opportunities are reflected in the current portfolio. One open solicitation is present in the source data: FEMA Region 6 is seeking a Woman-Owned Small Business contractor for restroom remodeling and nursing-mother-room construction at its Denton Campus Federal Regional Center and Vehicle Storage Administration Building 1 (Solicitation 70FBR626R00000013, Firm Fixed Price, due September 23, 2026).

Given the five-year absence of recorded awards despite open solicitation activity, prospective vendors should verify current contracting authority and procurement status directly with the Region 6 contracting office before committing business development resources.
