FEMA Region 9

Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 9, a sub-agency of the Department of Homeland Security, procures disaster response materials, facilities maintenance, and support services across the Pacific Area Office and other regional installations. FEMA Region 9 covers Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; the agency coordinates emergency preparedness, recovery, and temporary housing operations in those jurisdictions, generating contract work tied to disaster declarations and routine facility operations.

FEMA Region 9 has issued 1,285 federal contracts since 2004, with combined potential value of $893 million and $133.6 million obligated to date. Contract activity declined significantly in recent years: 114 awards in 2017, 208 in 2018, 86 in 2019, 72 in 2020, and 19 in 2021. The most recent recorded award closed on September 2, 2021, more than five years ago. Competitive concentration is highly fragmented; 556 distinct prime contractors have been awarded contracts over the agency's history, with the top five contractors holding less than 15 percent of historical awards. The source does not report top-prime rankings by recent award count or value, indicating the contractor base remains dispersed.

Set-asides dominate the contract mix. No set-aside designations account for 1,052 awards or 82 percent of the portfolio. Total Small Business set-asides comprise 168 awards or 13 percent; within that share, 8(a) Sole Source holds 22 awards, HUBZone 17, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business 13, and other small-business categories the remainder. The remaining 1 percent comprises specialized small-business set-asides including Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business, Reserved for Small Business, and Competitive 8(a).

Recent contract opportunities posted in September and October 2026 reflect disaster-response activity related to Super Typhoon Bavi (declaration 4931-MP in the Northern Mariana Islands) and concurrent disaster declarations.
