The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has just recently granted Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) contracts under the follow-on Public Assistance – Technical Assistance Contract vehicle. Each exceeded $500 million, on an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) basis to four awardees. This is the fifth iteration of this contract vehicle, referred to as PA-TAC V. The objective of PA-TAC V is to gain access to qualified contractor personnel with the technical skills necessary to supplement FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) activities in significant disasters and emergencies.
