A look at the FEMA forecast for FY18

After covering continued IT modernization expected in Fiscal Year 2018, and the increased speed and funding in federal disaster contracting, EZGovOpps will now take a look at the FY18 contracting forecast for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). With brand new opportunities, each worth over $100 million, already in discussion for FY18, the FEMA forecast includes some important projects for the agency.

In an upgrade planned since October 2016, FEMA is planning on releasing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) this month for Grants Management Modernization. Acknowledging in 2016 that “FEMA’s existing IT systems are unable to facilitate integrated, enterprise management of grants” (which FEMA approximated are worth a total of $10 billion per-year), FEMA is looking to put together a unified IT platform and a common management system for the grant lifecycle and associated business practices. While originally slated for procurement from a GWAC provider (take a look at our GWAC primer here), GSA is now expected to release the RFQ to Schedule 70 contract holders under the 132-51 special item number (SIN), for a project that FEMA estimates will exceed $100 million.

The other major opportunity exceeding $100 million goes back to our look at disaster response contracting: hurricane relief in Puerto Rico. With a primary NAICS code of 483111, FEMA is looking to establish “a full suite of transportation services such as surface line haul to/from the airport and designated locations on Puerto Rico, 20 foot and 40 foot containers… and a robust cross docking operations are required to facilitate movement of various containerized commodities/breakbulk cargo from the Continental United States to ports in Puerto Rico.” This major transportation repair/upgrade opportunity is estimated to be released by FEMA this month, less than three months after Hurricane Irma made landfall in Puerto Rico.

The biggest new small business opportunity currently on the docket is also in support of the hurricane response in Puerto Rico. Estimated to be worth between $50 million and $100 million, FEMA will be seeking Level II Armed Security Guard Services (primary NAICS of 561612) for a number of FEMA-designated locations, including the Port Authority ships and warehouses that may be involved in the shipping contract mentioned above. A solicitation has not yet been released, but FEMA expects to award the contract within this first quarter of FY18.

The contracts mentioned above are brand new requirements at FEMA. This biggest re-compete currently scheduled for FY18 is currently held by Booz Allen Hamilton. The company has so far received over $50 million (according to Federal reporting) for program management of the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) Program for FEMA’s Federal Insurance & Mitigation Administration (FIMA). The contract had a 5-year period of performance and a potential $150 million value. The new iteration would continue the program management, operation, and community outreach/partnerships. However, this could come into conflict with the Trump administration’s goals to cut the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, which was originally envisioned in the Budget Blueprint released by the White House for FY18. This is another opportunity scheduled for award in the first quarter of FY18, so we may know soon if this new contract continues.

Contracting requirements for FEMA may change due to a new disaster, the September spending rush that may agencies have come to embrace, or budgetary changes. As the premiere market intelligence platform, EZGovOpps can provide the information needed to keep track of agency opportunities, follow procurement trends, produce personalized forecasts, and provide custom analyst-updates for a complete understanding of the Federal contracting market today. Sign up for a free trial for a look at how EZGovOpps can help you maintain an edge in the Federal space.
