About this file

This draft Statement of Work (SOW) details FEMA's requirements for purchasing generators rated at 400kW and below through an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The generators are intended to support FEMA's Distribution Centers located across the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) locations, with the primary goal of updating their emergency response fleet to meet Tier 4Final EPA emissions compliance.

The SOW specifies comprehensive technical requirements for the generators, including mandatory features such as weather-proofing, skid mounting, 3-phase voltage switchability, integrated load bank systems, Tier 4Final emissions compliance, 24-hour external fuel tanks, and specific transportation and warranty considerations. Delivery will be to seven distribution centers in locations including Greencastle (PA), Atlanta (GA), Fort Worth (TX), Tracy (CA), Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The contractor must provide detailed specification sheets, diagnostic documentation, on-site training for FEMA mechanics, and be prepared to navigate customs inspections for overseas deliveries. The generators must meet stringent quality, safety, and operational standards to support FEMA's emergency response capabilities.

PART 1: GENERAL

1.1 BACKGROUND

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains a fleet of generators at Distribution Centers (DC) located at both the Continental United States (CONUS) and Other than Continental United States (OCONUS) locations, to support emergency response operations. The agency is currently updating the fleet to meet Tier 4Final EPA compliance.

1.2 SCOPE

The contractor shall provide generators and Generator Sets (and external tanks if applicable) to support Disaster

Relief Operations.

1.3 GENERAL

The generator (and external tank, if applicable) requirement is to support FEMA’s generator fleet which is maintained to support emergency response operations; and the procurement is to fill shortfalls at identified locations (in IDIQ Delivery Order) within the fleet due to the lifecycle of generators. The generator requirement is set up as an IDIQ which gives FEMA the ability to place future orders for generators of various type(s) and sizes as described in the specifications below.

The Contractor shall provide primary and alternate (if applicable) Point-of Contact person(s) who will have the authority to commit the company, as required to execute the award. The contractor(s) shall furnish all professional, technical, and clerical services as well as materials, equipment, and facilities to meet the stated specifications and project requirements defined in this Statement of Work (SOW).

PART 2: CONTRACTOR DELIVERABLES

2.1 PRODUCTS

The contractor shall provide generators with necessary fuel tanks and fuel lines (with proper connections and appurtenances as identified in the generator specifications, minimum and maximum kW range for each size, listed in Attachment 3 – Generator Specifications as specified in the individual delivery order. Generators are classified into the category of 400kW below (to include external tanks which are indicated within specifications).

Within each classification, there are sub-classifications which indicate the required ranges as specified in

Attachment 3 – Generator Specifications.

The specific quantities, kW size requirement (minimum-maximum FEMA acceptable range) and delivery locations will be specified within the solicitation for the task orders themselves.
