- Synopsis SYNOPSIS Planning and Technical Assistance Support The purpose of this procurement is to support deliberate and adaptive planning and technical assistance for a variety of emergency management programs and initiatives in support of the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA), Response Directorate (RD). The work to be performed under this procurement includes research, analytical, logistical and other planning support. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Response Directorate provides the core, coordinated federal operational and disaster response capability needed to save and sustain lives, minimize suffering, and protect property in a timely and effective manner in communities that become overwhelmed by natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other emergencies. Operational activities include the coordination of all federal emergency management response operations and response preparation, and the integration of Federal, State, Tribal and Local Disaster program. This coordination ensures efficient and effective delivery of immediate emergency assistance to individuals and communities impacted and overwhelmed by these disasters, emergencies, or acts of terrorism. Under the Response Directorate, the Planning Division directly supports Headquarters and Regional planning initiatives that enable the Agency to provide a successful Federal operational and disaster response capability. The Planning Division's mission statement is to plan for the coordinated Federal disaster response to communities throughout the Nation impacted by an incident, regardless of cause. RD consists of four main program areas: Planning, Operations, Disaster Emergency Communications, and Business Management. A major concern of the emergency management community has been the potential impact of future catastrophic disasters. The operational readiness, resources, and capabilities required to respond to major catastrophic events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita or terrorist attacks such as the one experienced on September 11, 2001, reveal serious flaws in the national response system in the face of these catastrophic events. There is agreement throughout the emergency management community that existing plans, policies, procedures, and resources are not fully adequate to address the destruction caused by natural or man-made disasters. The ID/IQ contract resulting from this solicitation will provide the means to develop these vital plans, policies and procedures for future events. This requirement will be a full and open competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 541611 - Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. The size standard is $7 million. To be eligible for award, offerors must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry at www.ccr.gov. Additionally, Representations and Certifications must be completed at http://orca.bpn.gov.
