EM NEMA registration KM

The state of Illinois is procuring registration fees for five individuals to attend the 2023 National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Mid-Year Emergency Management Policy & Leadership Forum. The procurement is being managed by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and is for a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) valued at $3,000. The BOA covers the registration fees for the NEMA forum, which provides IEMA staff the opportunity to learn and share best practices with other emergency managers across the country. Attendance at the forum is required for IEMA to stay up-to-date on emergency management policies and to collaborate with other states. The procurement is being conducted through a sole source justification, as the services provided by NEMA are specialized and critical to IEMA's operations.

The contract does not appear to have any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement is being funded by IEMA, with the possibility of partial or total federal funding. There is no mention of any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is $3,000, which covers the registration fees for five IEMA staff to attend the NEMA Mid-Year Forum.
