Risk MAP Production and Technical Services

FEMA Mitigation Section awarded a Master IDIQ on flood hazard mapping, risk assessment, and hazard mitigation planning on November 24, 2014, with a shared ceiling of $600 million and a last date to order of November 23, 2019. Ordering on this vehicle closed in late 2019, though task orders continued to be awarded through September 2021, with the most recent order issued nearly five years ago.

The vehicle supported FEMA's Risk MAP program, which integrates flood hazard mapping, risk assessment tools, and hazard mitigation planning to help communities build resilience and reduce disaster risk. Work performed included flood risk analysis and mapping, substantial damage estimates and inspections, mitigation assessment team deployments, building science expertise, geospatial analysis, and production of technical deliverables supporting the National Flood Insurance Program and disaster response operations. Task orders funded regional production support across multiple FEMA regions, specialized disaster-response work such as damage assessment for hurricanes, and ongoing flood mapping modernization.

Two joint ventures captured the entire vehicle. Starr II, A Joint Venture holds 84 orders with $485 million combined potential value. The Compass PTS JV holds 80 orders with $465.8 million combined potential value. Competition between the two primes was balanced and consistent throughout the vehicle's active life.

Federal Emergency Management Agency itself funded the vast majority of activity, placing 113 orders worth $685 million in combined potential value (roughly 72% of total). FEMA Mitigation Section and regional FEMA offices (Regions 2, 6, and 9) placed the remaining orders. All 164 task orders were unrestricted, non-set-aside procurements.

Task-order values ranged widely, from under $100,000 for specialized studies to over $40 million for multi-region production-support efforts. Delivery orders HSFE6015D0003-70FA6019F00000036 and HSFE6015D0005-70FA6019F00000037, both awarded in August 2019, each exceeded $33 million and provided multi-region production and technical services. Most orders used Cost Plus Fixed Fee or Cost Plus Award Fee pricing. The vehicle obligated $896.2 million against a combined potential value of $950.8 million (94% utilization) across its 164 orders.

Order frequency declined sharply after 2017, dropping from 42 orders that year to 15 in 2021. With ordering closed since November 2019 and no awards since September 2021, this vehicle is inactive and unsuitable for pursuit.

Risk MAP combines Flood Hazard Mapping, Risk Assessment Tools, and Hazard Mitigation Planning into one program. This integrated program encourages beneficial partnerships and innovative uses of flood hazard and risk assessment data in order to build more resilient communities. While flooding is the primary focus of Risk MAP, FEMA actively encourages a Whole-Community approach, and is focused on enhancing the usability and value of natural hazard risk information, leading to an increase in the public's awareness of risk, and communities taking mitigative actions to reduce the risk to life and property, increasing resilience so they may withstand, adapt, and recover from disasters.
