The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking support via contracts to a follow-on requirement for the Recovery Directorate, Public Assistance (PA Division Technical Assistance Contracts (TAC) III. New contracts entitled, PA TAC IV will consist of one procurement package to solicit non-professional and professional services in an Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) capacity. FEMA anticipates the non-professional services to constitute the primary requirement, constituting approximately 80 percent of the overall need. FEMA anticipates the need for professional expertise in an A&AS capacity will be 20 percent of the total requirement. These services are typically only needed for short periods of time after major disasters and emergencies in order to implement the PA Program.

The DHS FEMA intends to award three Hybrid Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with Firm-Fixed-Price, Time and Materials, and Cost Reimbursement contract line item numbers. This requirement consists of three geographical zones, and the intent is to award one IDIQ contract per geographical zone. This requirement will support Readiness and Disaster related activities through the issuance of task orders.

DHS FEMA plans to award three (3) IDIQ contracts to capable firms from a single solicitation. Each IDIQ contract will be awarded to a specific geographical zone within the United States and Territories (ref: Performance Work Statement).  Awardees shall have prepositioned staff and resources in their awarded zones as needed. Each IDIQ contract will have an ordering period of five (5) years to include a one (1) year base period of performance and four (4) one (1) year option periods of performance. The contract type for each IDIQ will be Hybrid (Time and Materials, Cost Reimbursement, and Firm Fixed Price).

This acquisition will be unrestricted, therefore providing for full and open competition, and procured using best value in accordance with FAR 15.101-1 Tradeoff Process. The solicitation number for this acquisition is HSFE80-17-R-0004.
