Sources Sought Guard Services

Background: FEMA Region VII is seeking contractors for Guard Services in support of Nebraska DR-4420-NE and Iowa DR-4421-IA. At this time FEMA is also anticipating a disaster declaration for MO in the near future and may need guard services.

FEMA is seeking sources to aide in determining the best procurement approach. FEMA is exploring: 1) Multiple Award BPA’s for all Region VII states (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa), 2) Single Award BPA’s – One for each state or one for all 4 states, 3) Multiple Award IDIQ for all 4 states, 4) Single Award IDIQ – One for each state or one for all 4 states, 5) Single Award Contract (preference to be given to local vendors).
