Manufactured Housing Units (MHUs) Re-Compete 2025

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is conducting market research for a NextGen Manufactured Housing Units (MHUs) re-compete contract to procure temporary housing units for disaster survivors. The agency seeks manufacturers capable of producing HUD-compliant MHUs in four primary configurations: 8' Wide Express one-bedroom, 14' Wide one-bedroom, 14' Wide two-bedroom, and 14' Wide three-bedroom/two-bathroom units. Potential contractors must meet specific technical requirements, including compliance with 24 CFR 3280 standards, fire sprinkler system installation, and accessibility features. The Request for Information (RFI) requires interested manufacturers to submit detailed responses by February 24, 2025, at 4:00 PM ET, electronically to fema-mhusrfi2025@fema.dhs.gov. Evaluation will focus on manufacturing capabilities, production capacity, supply chain resilience, and ability to meet federal housing standards.

The solicitation does not include a specific set-aside designation, but encourages small business participation. Production capacity requirements vary by business size: Other Than Small Business contractors must produce 50 MHUs per week (with an objective of 75), Small Business "A" contractors must produce 25 MHUs per week (with an objective of 40), and Small Business "B" contractors must produce 10 MHUs per two-week period (with an objective of 15). Delivery locations will primarily be FEMA storage facilities in Selma, AL and Cumberland, MD. The contract will include a 5-year warranty period, and optional housing types may include additional NextGen and Alternative Temporary Housing Units. While no specific award value is disclosed, the comprehensive requirements suggest a significant procurement effort aimed at maintaining FEMA's disaster housing response capabilities across various unit sizes and configurations.
