About this award
FEMA issued a delivery order to The Rand Corporation on April 3, 2023, with a ceiling value of $69.5 million under the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC) FFRDC IDIQ. This is a unilateral modification to de-obligate excess funds in preparation for financial system transition, with ultimate completion April 2, 2026.
The order supports FEMA's Public Assistance Division with subject matter experts to review high-risk COVID-19 projects for cost allowability, allocability, and duplication of benefits. Work is performed in Washington, DC 20472 on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis.
Rand engages Arbor Research and a multi-vendor team of consulting partners to deliver subject matter expertise and advisory support on Public Assistance procedures and COVID-19-specific requirements, with hourly rates ranging from $59.44 to $324.23 per hour based on subject matter expertise level.
As of FY2025, the order reflects 47.9 FTEs and 99,627 contractor hours invoiced to the government, with a derived blended rate of $197.67 per hour. FY2024 showed peak utilization at 512 FTEs and 1.065 million contractor hours at $25.97 per hour, reflecting high-volume project review activity during the pandemic relief period. FY2023 invoicing totaled $7.8 million across 20.2 FTEs, with the order scaling significantly through FY2024 ($27.7 million) before moderating in FY2025 ($19.7 million). Approximately 7 percent of FY2025 contractor hours were subcontracted.
