Tank and Pump Systems

The Federal Emergency Management Agency established this Master IDIQ for Tank and Pump Systems (TPS) on July 26, 2018, with ordering authority through July 24, 2019; the ordering period closed nearly seven years ago and no new task orders may be placed. The vehicle carries a $200 million shared ceiling and has obligated its entire $41.7 million combined task-order potential value across 20 delivery orders placed between July 2018 and September 2023.

Task orders procure external tank and pump systems for residential fire sprinkler installations in FEMA-supplied manufactured housing units (MHUs), sized to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13D fire protection standards. Orders range from small refurbishment and spare-parts work (units under $50,000) to major bulk purchases (single orders for 800, 654, and 525 units valued at $4.8 million, $3.9 million, and $3.1 million respectively). All orders use firm fixed pricing and all 20 orders carry no set-aside designation.

General Air Products Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 9 of 20 orders and $22.4 million combined potential value (roughly 54% of total), followed by JMB Wholesale LLC with 7 orders and $11.8 million (28%), and W S Darley & Co with 4 orders and $7.5 million (18%). Ordering activity peaked in 2019 (5 orders) and again in 2023 (7 orders), with 3 orders in 2022 and 5 in 2018; no orders have been placed since September 2023. FEMA Community Survivor Assistance Section (the customer within FEMA) funded 10 orders valued at $23.2 million, while the parent Federal Emergency Management Agency funded 10 orders at $18.4 million.

The vehicle is closed to new procurement. Remaining activity, if any, would be limited to modifications or disputes against existing delivery orders. The competitive window and primary acquisition value opportunity under this vehicle have fully matured.

FEMA has determined that the agency will equip manufactured housing units (MHUs) used as temporary housing with residential fire sprinkler systems. The sprinkler systems are in compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes - NFPA 13D. FEMA has determined that an external Tank and Pump System (TPS) will be provided with the MHU to ensure a consistent and adequate water supply. The TPS will provide adequate water flow, pressure and quantity to meet the operational requirements set forth by FEMA and in NFPA 13D.
