Infant and Toddler Shelter Support Kit 2012-2017

The Infant and Toddler Shelter Support Kit Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is designed to support emergency preparedness and response efforts by procuring and maintaining standardized shelter support kits for infants and toddlers. These kits are pre-assembled collections of essential non-perishable and perishable items intended to provide critical supplies during disaster relief operations. The contract enables FEMA to quickly replenish and distribute infant and toddler emergency supply kits across various distribution centers nationwide, ensuring rapid support for vulnerable populations during emergency situations.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a pattern of small business set-aside awards, with most delivery orders ranging from approximately $2,000 to $70,000 and focusing on replenishing kits at distribution centers located in regions such as Hawaii, Guam, Caribbean, Atlanta, Frederick, and Moffett Field. Systems Support Alternatives, Inc. (SSA) appears to be a frequent contractor, executing multiple delivery orders for kit replenishment, transportation, and item procurement. The contract was particularly active in responding to Hurricane Sandy's aftermath, with several task orders specifically aimed at replacing kits utilized during that disaster. Most task orders are firm-fixed price, have completion dates within the overall contract period (September 2012-2017), and involve procuring perishable and non-perishable infant and toddler supplies, as well as managing logistics for kit distribution and replacement.
