About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers document for FEMA contract solicitation 70FBR925Q00000024, providing critical details about a protective services contract. The solicitation involves rapid deployment of armed Private Security Officers (PSOs) with specific operational constraints, including a one-year contract term that may be shortened if FEMA completes work efficiently. Key operational details include: officers can be vetted from other states, firearms are allowed with a Maui Police Department waiver, parking is available, and the incumbent contractor is Paragon Systems. The government will not recognize HUB zone contractor preferences, provide equipment storage, or pay for company-required administrative activities.
Significant contract nuances include restrictions on administrative processes, with FEMA allowing PSOs to complete vetting paperwork on-site but requiring company-specific activities to be completed off-post and at the contractor's expense. The contract emphasizes rapid deployment flexibility, permitting currently vetted officers to work while obtaining new contract clearances. Additional notable points are that FEMA will supply portable toilets and generators if needed, and the contract duration could be less than one year depending on FEMA's operational timeline. No specific pricing details or exact service locations are provided in this Q&A document.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - 70FBR925Q00000024
1. Can armed FEMA officers that are currently vetted and working, be utilized upon contract award from other states of territories with active FEMA contracts? This is solely to meet FEMAs rapid deployment requirements. Due to the short turnaround time on this contract any currently vetted PSO can work on the contract while we get them cleared for the new contract.
2. Is there a work location on each site location in which to secure the officers firearms and ammunition? If not, should we include the pricing for safes at each location? FEMA does not allow storage of firearms or ammunition on any site. FEMA does have a waiver from the Maui Police Department to allow PSO’s to carry firearms to/from work and on post.
3. Is parking available for the assigned contractor employees? Yes
4. Is any site location at a remote location requiring portable toilets? Power generators? Not currently. FEMA will supply if needed.
5. Will the Government recognize a HUB zone contractor preference? No
6. Is there storage for equipment available? No. FEMA does not assume any risk or liability for contractor items.
7. As this is a rapid deployment, is the government amenable to allowing the required vetting, testing, physical and other administrative actions to occur while the officers are posted? This process can be a significant delay in normal operations, and a time frame or window could be established to ensure compliance and maintain a rapid deployment. No. We will allow the PSO’s to complete vetting paperwork and fingerprints on post, however any company required activities must be done off post and are not paid by FEMA.
8. Is there an incumbent? If so, can you provide the name of this company? Paragon Systems
9. If FEMA completes its required work at an efficient pace, would the contractor be asked to close its operations early prior to the one-year contract? Yes, this is possible.
