HPSA RFI SOO.doc

Statement of Objectives (SOO)

A. PROJECT TITLE:

B. Supplies and Services for Household Pets and Service Animals (HPSA).

C. PURPOSE: This Request for Information (RFI) is to assist the Federal government to comply with statutory requirements under the PET Act and the Stafford Act Section 403.a.3.J. Though the responsibility for the well being of household pets and service animals resides with the affected State, FEMA and Federal agencies, such as the USDA, must develop supplies and capabilities to augment the local response. The goal of this RFI is to find out if the private sector has the capability for FEMA to create BPAs with vendors to support States’ requests for HPSA needs.

D. SCOPE OR MISSION: The scope of this procurement will be for large scale disasters to augment animal care services and providing supplies to missions carried out in the field.

The contractor chosen should have the ability to respond and deliver products within a 24-48 hour period after receipt of request, or within a reasonable timeframe as agreed upon between the contractor and FEMA.

E. PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: One year contract with four (4) option years. Vendor will need to be able to respond to requests both within the continental U.S. (CONUS) and outside the continental U.S. (OCONUS).

F. BACKGROUND: The services and subsequent supplies needed will be: Locating and/or providing sheltering in facilities, basic veterinary care to include initial exam, vaccination, emergency treatment, evacuation support (ex: transportation), wrap-around services (ex: walking, feeding, general care), and all necessary support supplies for each service listed below:
