70FBR425Q00000088 Request for Quote - DR4830-GA Direct Lease Program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is soliciting quotes from Direct Lease Contractors, Property Managers, Housing Solutions Vendors, and Property Owners to lease residential properties for temporary housing in support of DR4830-GA Hurricane Helene disaster relief operations in Georgia. The solicitation aims to provide safe, equitable, and accessible housing assistance to individuals and households affected by the disaster. Offerors must submit questions by 12:00 p.m. EST on February 26, 2025, and quotes by 12:00 p.m. EST on February 28, 2025, via email to ashlee.young@fema.dhs.gov. Evaluation factors will be detailed in Attachment 3 (Section M - Evaluation Factors), with a focus on property suitability, pricing, and ability to meet disaster relief housing needs. Contractors must carefully review all attachments, including the Statement of Work, Contract Terms and Conditions, and Rate Spreadsheets to ensure compliance with FEMA's requirements.

The solicitation is not set aside for any specific small business category, making it open to a wide range of potential contractors. FEMA is seeking approximately 20 total properties across disaster-declared counties, with a particular focus on Coffee and Lowndes Counties in Georgia. The contract will have a 12-month base period with potential for two additional 3-month option periods. Rental rates are governed by Fair Market Rent (FMR) guidelines, with properties allowed to be priced up to 125% of the standard FMR with proper justification. The place of performance is specifically in Georgia, with properties ideally located within 30-60 minutes of target counties. Contractors will be responsible for providing move-in ready, furnished residential units that can potentially accommodate Access and Functional Needs (AFN) modifications, though ADA compliance is not mandatory.
