The solicitation is expected to be released on April 27, 2026, with an anticipated award date of May 1, 2026, and a one-year period of performance from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027.
The estimated award value ranges from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 under a Firm Fixed Price definitive contract with no set-aside designation.

Forecast text
The Community Rating System (CRS) is a voluntary insurance rating initiative established in 1990 to acknowledge communities that implement floodplain management practices exceeding the minimum standards set by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The CRS aims to reduce disaster risk nationwide through a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach, engaging federal, state, and local officials, floodplain management professionals, insurance experts, and academic researchers. By adopting a whole-community strategy, the CRS enhances risk management capabilities. Communities participating in the CRS receive reduced flood insurance premiums for their policyholders, reflecting the increased flood risk protection provided by their efforts.
The requirement is to deliver professional support services to FEMA’s NFIP Community Rating System (CRS), ensuring the program’s sustainment. This includes facilitating new class entries, managing class changes, and providing technical assistance to all NFIP communities involved in or interested in joining the CRS. FEMA also plans to transition CRS program management and operations from contractor-led to government-led, which requires training government personnel and transferring all CRS operations data to internal government staff.
