PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

OUTSIDE THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES

RESPONDER SUPPORT CAMP (OCONUS RSC)

SERVICES

C.1 BACKGROUND

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards.

One of FEMA’s responsibilities is to ensure the effectiveness of emergency response personnel in responding to emergencies and disasters. Types of disasters and emergencies that could happen in the continental United States (CONUS), as well as outside the continental United States (OCONUS) locations include, but are not limited to, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, tornadoes, blizzards, acts of terrorism, tsunamis, and avalanches.

C.2 OBJECTIVE

To support this mission, FEMA is soliciting for services for disability accessible OCONUS Responder Support Camp(s) (OCONUS RSC) in which to stage responders, other authorized personnel, and assets deployed for occurrences, or events, requiring a federal government response in OCONUS locations, including U.S. states, territories and commonwealths. The OCONUS RSC contract will be used by FEMA, or by other federal agencies through FEMA, consistent with the specific authorities of the agency utilizing the contract’s services. During OCONUS disaster situations or other events, federal, state and local responders may need a place that provides shelter, food, and additional basic needs. The OCONUS RSC contract will be used by those responding to federal disaster or emergency needs, or any other situation where FEMA or an agency working through FEMA needs an OCONUS RSC solution. FEMA shall be able to call upon those contractors awarded contracts under this acquisition, to provide OCONUS RSC services in the following locations: Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S.

Virgin Islands.
