About this opportunity
FEMA is conducting market research to identify COTS, configurable COTS, custom, or hybrid solutions to replace the legacy Deployment Tracking System (DTS) by October 20, 2026 (responses due), with estimated contract value of $50 million to $100 million over five to ten years.
The solution must support workforce readiness, personnel availability, qualifications, certifications, training, deployment tracking, incident and event staffing, force package management, equipment assignment, reporting, analytics, secure cloud hosting, and interoperability with existing FEMA and DHS systems. The system must operate on a FEMA-provided, government-owned FedRAMP High cloud environment (likely Azure or AWS), comply with FEMA and DHS cybersecurity and privacy standards, and achieve Technology Readiness Level 6 or higher with Zero Trust compliance.
Planned user base includes approximately 15,000 to 20,000 active users, 15,000 daily concurrent users, and 32,000 responder records, with all FEMA employees potentially accessing the system during major activations. The solution must support data migration of more than ten years of historical DTS records and maintain 99.92 percent operational availability with 24-hour recovery from catastrophic failure and 24/7/365 production support. FEMA welcomes partial responses and teaming arrangements. Vendors must submit responses using the RFI survey template in Excel format. Amendment 0003 (October 20) extended the response date to allow additional time for FEMA to publish answers to vendor questions. FEMA has not yet determined acquisition vehicle, contract type, award structure, or small-business set-aside status; these will be addressed in the formal solicitation.
