Emergency Shelter Staffing IEM

The Florida Master Agreement D1558 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) specifically designed to provide Emergency Shelter Staffing services during declared States of Emergency. The contract enables the deployment of qualified personnel to establish and manage both congregate and non-congregate shelters across Florida, with personnel required to have at least two years of experience in social services. The IDV covers critical roles including Program Managers, Planners, Shelter Managers, Shift Supervisors, Registration Workers, and Feeding Staff, all of whom must be capable of following procedures, interacting compassionately with community members, and managing complex emergency situations.

The master agreement is awarded to IEM International, Inc. and is managed by the Executive Office of the Governor, with a performance period from May 1, 2024, to May 1, 2027. The contract is structured as a three-year master agreement covering the state of Florida, with an initial contract value of $5,822.00 and provisions for potential renewals. The IDV allows for flexible staffing deployment based on the Division of Emergency Management's needs, with the ability to dynamically increase or decrease personnel during emergency response operations. This contract type provides the state with a pre-established mechanism to quickly mobilize professional emergency shelter staffing resources when critical situations arise.
