The Federal Emergency Management Agency Community Survivor Assistance Section is seeking sources for a multi-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to procure information technology supplies and equipment supporting disaster recovery operations. This Request for Information covers a comprehensive range of IT assets including peripheral devices, end-user and mobile computing devices, audio communication accessories, data storage devices, networking equipment, IT consumables, printing and scanning devices, security authentication devices, visual equipment, and related supplies. The BPA is designed to enable rapid procurement of essential technology assets for field and headquarters operations following major disaster declarations, with delivery required within 7 days of call order award to recovery centers in Washington DC, Texas, Maryland, California, Puerto Rico, and Virginia. FEMA is specifically seeking vendors capable of providing all items specified in the Statement of Work, with substitutes acceptable if they meet requirements and are on the Approved Technical Reference Material. Interested contractors must submit electronic responses by 11:00 AM EST on August 12, 2025, with response documents limited to 10 pages maximum and the official solicitation anticipated to be released in approximately two months.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured for small businesses under NAICS code 334118 (Computer Terminal and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 7E21 (IT and Telecom - Mobile Device Products). No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the RFI materials.
