Shelter Support Kits of Bulk Hygiene 2013-2016

The Master IDIQ contract IDIQ-FEMA-SSK-HYG focuses on procuring bulk hygiene items specifically designed to support disaster response shelters and survivors. Awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in September 2013, this contract vehicle enables rapid acquisition of essential sanitation supplies during emergency operations. The contract's primary purpose is to provide critical shelter support kits containing hygiene products such as soap, which can be quickly deployed to areas experiencing natural disasters or humanitarian crises. With a shared contract ceiling of $4,800,000, the vehicle was structured to allow multiple prime contractors to fulfill urgent shelter and survivor support needs during emergency response scenarios.

While specific task order details are not provided in the available data, this type of IDIQ contract typically involves pre-qualified vendors who can rapidly respond to disaster relief requirements. Task orders under such a vehicle would likely range from $50,000 to $500,000, with durations spanning emergency response periods ranging from weeks to months. The contract's focus on hygiene and shelter support suggests high probability of task order activation during hurricane, flood, wildfire, and other large-scale natural disaster events. Federal agencies like FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, and potentially the Department of Health and Human Services would be primary users of this contract vehicle. Given the humanitarian nature of the contract, it is probable that small business or disadvantaged business set-aside designations were incorporated to support diverse vendor participation in emergency response supply chains.
