DLA FEMA Generator Program

The DLA FEMA Generator Program is a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support to support the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) emergency power generation requirements. The contract enables the rapid procurement and transportation of industrial diesel-powered generators across seven power ranges from 15 to 2,000 kilowatts, including all necessary fuel tanks and lines. Originally solicited in June 2018, the vehicle is designed to support FEMA during national emergencies and disasters, providing temporary backup power generation capabilities across the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and various U.S. territories.

Task orders under this vehicle consistently involve generator procurement, transportation, and related logistical services, with typical contract values ranging from approximately $50,000 to $2 million. Frequent prime contractors include Caterpillar Inc., Berger Cummins JV, Inglett & Stubbs International, Atlantic Diving Supply, and Texas Power & Associates. The delivery orders frequently support disaster response efforts, such as Hurricane Ida recovery, and are predominantly awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis. No set-aside designations were used in the task orders reviewed, and common performance locations include Peoria, Illinois; Washington, D.C.; and Atlanta, Georgia. The funding agency is consistently the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division, which manages the contract to provide critical power generation assets for emergency preparedness and response missions.
