About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a Request for Information and Sources Sought Notice for Consumable Medical Supplies (CMS) to support disaster shelter operations. FEMA seeks to identify vendors capable of assembling and delivering complete medical supply kits and individual à la carte items to support 100-200 person shelters for 72-hour periods during emergency response operations. The procurement covers 108 different medical supply items ranging from basic supplies like antibacterial wipes and diapers to specialized equipment including catheters, oxygen regulators, and blood glucose meters. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities for both steady-state stock replenishment and emergency surge operations with delivery to locations within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The RFI includes detailed vendor capability questions covering packaging specifications, delivery timeframes, transportation methods, and potential challenges with firm fixed-price contracting. Responses are limited to 5 pages in Microsoft Word or PDF format and must be submitted by 10:00 AM EST on June 25, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 423450 for Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers. The RFI does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges, as this is strictly an information-gathering exercise with no commitment to issue a subsequent solicitation or make awards. The medical supply kits are designed to sustain shelter operations for exactly 72 hours and support between 100-200 disaster survivors per kit. FEMA emphasizes that this notice serves market research purposes only and that responses will be used to assess industry capabilities for potential future procurement actions. The agency specifically notes that no proprietary information is requested and that all submissions may be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act unless properly marked as proprietary. FEMA will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing responses to this RFI.

Background
Historically, there has been an absence of adequate and appropriate shelter support and care for sheltered disaster survivors who require Consumable Medical Supplies (CMS) resources. The provision of Consumable Medical Supplies (e.g., medications, diapers, and bandages) are medical supplies which may be ingested, injected, or applied and/or are one-time usage. The CMS list herein has been developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Mass Care Functional Needs Support Services (FNSS) review group.
This document identifies the basic consumable medical supplies necessary to sustain and support a 100-200 person shelter for a 72 hour period, which FEMA may provide as supplemental assistance to shelter providers when requested by a State; pursuant to Section 403 (b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288) as amended.
Objectives
For Market Research Only- FEMA is seeking information regarding vendor capabilities to assemble and deliver Consumable Medical Supplies complete kits and/or individual CMS ala carte items (identified in Attachment 1) in both steady-state to maintain stock levels and for Emergency Response/Surge Operations to designated locations/shelters within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) delivery locations.
