NIGP 91881: Natural Disasters (Fire, Flood, Wind, Quakes) Consulting

NIGP 91881 Natural Disasters (Fire, Flood, Wind, Quakes) Consulting, an Item code, encompasses technical and professional services deployed to support state and local government response, recovery, and hazard mitigation following declared disasters and in pre-positioned preparedness arrangements. State and local governments are actively procuring disaster recovery consultant support, FEMA grant and project administration, flood mitigation engineering and planning, debris management oversight, damage assessment coordination, and pre-event contracts establishing vendor rosters for rapid mobilization. Issuing bodies span Florida counties (Hillsborough, Seminole, Pasco), cities (Port Orange, Tallahassee, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Huntsville), South Carolina counties (Dorchester), Mississippi counties (Grenada), Georgia municipalities (Columbus, Sandy Springs), Texas municipalities (Huntsville, Mason County), and special-purpose entities such as Central Florida Electric Cooperative. Florida dominates recent activity, particularly Volusia, Leon, Hillsborough, and Orange Counties, with secondary concentrations in South Carolina low-country counties, Texas, Georgia, and Mississippi. Repeat buyers include the City of Port Orange (elevation of flood-prone homes under FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding across multiple re-advertised and amended procurements), Pasco County (post-disaster inspections and debris services), and Seminole County (disaster recovery financial services and mechanical treatment).

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Port Orange RFP 26-24-CW requesting elevation services on eleven single-family flood-prone residential structures funded 75 percent by FEMA HMGP with proposals due November 13, 2026 and substantial completion by January 31, 2028; Mason County, Texas RFP 26030MA for consultant services to update the County's Hazard Mitigation Plan in compliance with FEMA 44 CFR 201.6 with proposals due October 30, 2026 and an anticipated project budget of $65,000 to $85,000; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners RFP 2600364 requesting a countywide automated flood forecasting and impact analysis system at an estimated value of $850,000 over four years with proposals due September 11, 2026; Dorchester County, South Carolina dual procurements (RFP 202656 and 202653) for pre-event disaster debris monitoring and removal management services on unit-price and hourly-rate bases with proposals due May 5 and May 14, 2026 and contract commencement July 1, 2026; and Grenada County, Mississippi RFPs 3170035604 and 3170035605 establishing pre-disaster contracts for debris monitoring and removal services with sealed bids due May 4, 2026 and contract terms running through December 31, 2027. FEMA Public Assistance Program compliance, Davis-Bacon Act provisions, 2 CFR Part 200 cost principles, federal debarment certification, and E-Verify requirements are standard across solicitations. Procurement structures vary—some cities establish single awards for time-limited projects, others create pre-positioned rosters enabling task-order deployment following disaster declarations with zero compensation until activation.
