Solicitation # RFP-017-2831606-JL-2
The County seeks to establish a flexible usage agreement for mass care and shelter services to deliver comprehensive, inclusive, and timely support to individuals and families displaced by natural or human-caused disasters. The contract ensures that all affected residents, including those with disabilities and access and functional needs, receive essential resources for short-term recovery and, where appropriate, a pathway to longer-term assistance. Services may be delivered through a variety of sheltering operations such as reception centers, overnight shelters, regional centers, local assistance centers, family assistance centers, and other designated sites, with the specific mix determined by the nature and scale of each incident. The contract is activated only when the County invokes it in response to an actual or anticipated disaster, and no compensation is owed unless such invocation occurs, except for pre-disaster exercises specifically requested by the County. Compensation for all services—including labor, materials, and equipment—is provided on a unit-cost basis according to the rates detailed in Attachment B and the contract’s specific requirements. The County retains full discretion over the scope and duration of services required for each event and does not guarantee that all described services will be utilized in any given incident.

Emergency Acquisition Basic Ordering Agreement (EA BOA) - FD
Solicitation # 47QMCH26G0001
The General Services Administration’s Office of Shared Services Delivery is seeking to establish an Emergency Acquisition Basic Ordering Agreement (EA BOA) to enable rapid procurement of critical products and services during emergencies across the United States and its territories. Unlike traditional contracts, the EA BOA serves as a pre-vetted pool of qualified contractors who can be quickly contacted to provide emergency supplies and services without the delays of formal solicitation processes. Contractors are not guaranteed work, but those selected will gain access to a streamlined ordering system designed for speed during declared disasters, with specific emphasis on meeting rapid response and delivery timelines that may be required in high-pressure situations. The agreement does not require contractors to hold a GSA Schedule, nor are they restricted by any existing schedule items—FAR 8.4 procedures do not apply, and the EA BOA operates through its own distinct framework. Participation is open to any business with the capability to deliver a wide range of emergency-related goods and services, as demonstrated through the provided FEMA and DLA catalogs, which are illustrative rather than exhaustive. To apply, interested parties must submit a company overview not exceeding five pages, detailing their products or services, federal contracting experience, socio-economic status, and relevant emergency response capabilities, along with complete contact details and a Unique Entity ID. Submissions are due by August 21, 2026, and will be reviewed alongside verification of SAM.gov registration, CPARS records, and other qualification data. Selected contractors will be invited to sign the final EA BOA document and establish an ASSIST system account to formalize their participation. The agreement, once executed, will remain active from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2031. Not all applicants will be accepted; GSA will aim to build a nationwide, diverse network of responders capable of covering a broad spectrum of emergency needs, with preference given to those with prior federal experience and proven disaster response capabilities. Contractors not selected will have the opportunity to receive feedback and guidance on improving future applications.

The contract is being issued by the City of Atlanta in Georgia, with Benjamin Lang from the agency serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries.

Coordinated Entry with System Navigation
Solicitation # 26-005-Homeless-CE
Pierce County is seeking proposals under solicitation 26-005-Homeless-CE to establish a coordinated entry and system navigation service contract valued at up to $4,250,000, aimed at advancing the goals of the 2025-2030 Comprehensive Plan to End Homelessness. The contract supports four strategic objectives: promoting an equitable and transparent homeless crisis response system, prioritizing assistance based on risk and barriers to housing stability, ensuring adjacent systems respond effectively to those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and guaranteeing access to stable, appropriate housing for all individuals. The awarded contractor will deliver services through a performance-based framework, with 60% of funding tied to expenditures and 40% linked to measurable outcomes, including monthly reporting on service outputs and outcomes via the Homeless Management Information System. The contract period is expected to begin in early 2027 and run through December 31, 2027, with discretionary extensions subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance. Contractors must comply with Washington State laws and federal requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, including rigorous financial and programmatic audits, and must carry comprehensive insurance coverage with Pierce County named as an additional insured, including abuse and molestation coverage for work involving vulnerable populations. All staff and subcontractors are required to undergo criminal background checks as mandated by RCW 74.34 and RCW 9.96A.060, and must maintain current credentials for their roles. Proposals are evaluated on a 150-point scale, prioritizing program design, HMIS data quality, organizational capacity, and strategic alignment with county goals, with the award determined through a trade-off process rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Submissions must be lodged exclusively via the County’s OpenGov eProcurement Portal by the deadline, and proposers are required to possess an active UEI from SAM.gov in order to qualify. All materials produced under the contract become the property of Pierce County, and contractors must adhere to strict data security, confidentiality, and conflict-of-interest standards under Chapter 42.23 RCW. Failure to meet performance benchmarks—particularly a minimum 90% compliance rate across all monitoring metrics—or to submit a valid financial risk assessment may result in disqualification or contract termination, either for convenience with 15 days’ notice or for default after opportunity to cure.
