Emergency standby contract to source qualified incident management team personnel when local/state resources are exhausted.

The Florida Master Agreement D1174 is an emergency standby indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) designed to source qualified incident management team (IMT) personnel when local and state resources are exhausted. The contract enables the deployment of highly trained incident management teams across different complexity levels (Type 1, 2, and 3) to support emergency response efforts. These teams, ranging from 12 to 26 personnel, can be mobilized within 12-96 hours of notification and are capable of managing incidents involving up to 500+ personnel. The IDV provides comprehensive services inclusive of personnel, travel, lodging, and per diem expenses, with contractors required to maintain personnel possessing specific NIMS ICS position qualifications.

The master agreement is awarded to AC Disaster Consulting and is administered by the Executive Office of the Governor, with a contract period from December 5, 2023, to December 5, 2026. As a master agreement, the contract covers the state of Florida and provides a flexible mechanism for emergency management resource procurement. While the contract does not guarantee a specific quantity of services, it is structured to be activated as needed during emergency situations. The IDV allows for hourly pricing and quick mobilization of professional incident management teams capable of operating in austere environments, ensuring the state has a robust emergency response capability when standard resources are insufficient.
