About this vehicle
FEMA Incident Support Section awarded a total-small-business Master IDIQ for self-help tarps on March 31, 2020, with ordering closed as of March 30, 2025. The vehicle is no longer active for new task orders.
The contract supplies tarps measuring 20x25 inches, made of 1000–1200 denier woven polyethylene with 8–12 mm thickness, meeting flame-retardancy and packaging standards, along with transportation management services. FEMA places orders for disaster response and backfill of distribution centers, with typical delivery windows of 90 days and emergency fulfillment in 72 hours where required. The most recent orders (January 2025) procured 150,000-unit quantities in support of Hurricane Helene recovery.
Royal Distributors LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 7 orders worth $48.9 million of the $67.6 million combined potential value (72% of total value). Dpalex, Inc. holds 5 orders worth $17.5 million, and J & M Industries, Inc. holds 2 orders worth $1.2 million. Despite the vehicle's total-small-business set-aside designation, 79% of awarded task orders (11 of 14) carried no set-aside restriction, while 21% (3 orders) were executed as total-small-business awards. Ordering momentum declined over the vehicle's life: 3 orders in 2021 and 2022 each, dropping to 1 order in 2023, 1 in 2024, and 2 in early 2025 before the vehicle closed.
FEMA Incident Support Section and the broader Federal Emergency Management Agency together funded all task orders, with the agency's main entity accounting for $58.3 million (86% of potential value) and the Incident Support Section for $9.3 million (14%). Of the combined $67.6 million potential value, $59.8 million (88%) has been obligated. Individual order ceilings range from $149,414 for minimum guarantees to $9.6 million for large-scale disaster response procurements. The vehicle's ordering period has expired; existing primes may still perform against already-issued task orders with completion dates extending into mid-2025.
