FEMA Course Development and Revision Services

The FEMA Course Development and Revision Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), supports the National Emergency Training Center's Emergency Management Institute (EMI) and National Fire Academy (NFA) in developing, revising, and converting training courses across emergency management, homeland security, and fire service domains. The contract vehicle enables FEMA to rapidly procure specialized course development services through multiple prime contractors, focusing on creating, updating, and transforming educational content for emergency preparedness professionals. Task orders under this vehicle encompass a wide range of activities, including developing online and in-person training modules, revising existing curricula, converting courses to digital formats, and creating comprehensive training materials.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to $550,000, with performance periods typically spanning 6-24 months. Key prime contractors include E-Paga, Inc., Avani Services (McKinley Group), and Cybermedia Technologies, with a significant emphasis on small business participation, including 8(a), total small business, and minority/woman-owned business set-asides. The majority of task orders focus on specialized course development for emergency management, fire service training, leadership development, and disaster response education. Notably, many task orders involve converting traditional classroom courses to online learning platforms, developing test banks, creating specialized training series, and revising existing curriculum to meet evolving professional standards. The work is predominantly performed in support of FEMA's National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland, with a clear objective of enhancing emergency management and fire service professional education.
