This federal contract award, identified as HSFE0405P5035, was made by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to RSC Equipment Rental Incorporated. The $16,070.60 firm fixed-price purchase order was issued under unusual and compelling urgency to provide a forklift and scissor lift to support FEMA's disaster response and recovery operations for Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, Mississippi. The equipment was needed to handle warehouse logistics during the emergency response, and a delay would have resulted in serious harm to the government. There was no set-aside designation for this award.
