Disaster Relief and Preparedness ALT Support (HAP ALT)

The Department of the Army Southern Command awarded this Master IDIQ on August 22, 2017 for Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief and Disaster Preparedness assessment, logistics, and training support services and supplies across the United States Southern Command Area of Responsibility (USSOUTHCOM), encompassing Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The ordering period closed on August 20, 2019 — the vehicle is no longer active and has been expired for nearly seven years.

All 30 task orders awarded under this vehicle have reached their completion dates. The combined task-order potential value totals $4.9 million, with 100 percent of that value obligated across completed work. Activity concentrated heavily in the first year: 16 orders issued in 2017, followed by sporadic ordering in 2018 (1 order) and 2019 (7 orders), then 2 orders in 2020 and 4 in 2022 before activity ceased.

Work centered on equipment and supplies for disaster response infrastructure. Task orders funded emergency operations center (EOC) installations and equipment (Antigua/Barbuda, Dominica, Guatemala locations), firefighting and first-responder equipment (Nomex bunker gear, self-contained breathing apparatus, tactical boots, firefighting kits), and supplies and materials for disaster relief warehouses across Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, and Belize.

Competition was moderately concentrated. Contingency Management Group LLC dominated with 12 orders and $1.5 million combined potential value. Johnstek, Inc. (5 orders, $734 thousand), Msgi Corporation (4 orders, $453 thousand), Carolina Linkages, Inc. (3 orders, $840 thousand), and Venatore LLC (3 orders, $489 thousand) followed. Seven distinct primes were awarded across the vehicle's life.

Customer concentration was high: Department of the Army Southern Command placed 24 of 30 orders for $3.2 million combined potential value; Department of the Army Cyber Command awarded 4 orders ($1.3 million); and the parent Department of the Army issued 2 orders ($483 thousand). The 87 percent unrestricted set-aside mix reflected typical Army competition, though 13 percent of orders (4 total) carried small-business set-asides, including four $5 thousand minimum-guarantee orders at award.

Individual task-order values ranged from $5 thousand to approximately $718 thousand, with most action orders falling between $78 thousand and $318 thousand. All orders were firm fixed-price delivery orders.
