AI Contract Overview

This contract focuses on providing comprehensive transportation and logistical support to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in response to disaster situations.

This support is crucial for the restoration of infrastructure, medical services, and provision of basic human needs post-disaster.

Full Description

A major part of the response and recovery effort revolves around supplying the affected area with Initial Response Resources (IRR). These include life supporting and life sustaining IRRs such as but not limited to water, meals, cots, tarps, plastic sheeting, blankets, sandbags, generators, and fuel which are needed to lessen damage before or after a disaster. FEMA has limited readiness in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico due to the deficiency in warehousing space and minimum full time FEMA/CORE personnel located there to support the magnitude of this response. Additionally, FEMA needs to move Inter-agency resources and support functions into the affected areas to support critical needs such as infrastructure, electricity and sewage repairs; provide medical requirements and services; and bring basic human needs like water and meals to those in need. FEMA would like to establish a multiple award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle that provide all-inclusive transportation and shipping services for these locations. Task Order awards and execution will be driven by the response to the disaster and particular needs. Functions to be performed: FEMA has determined that a full suite of transportation services such as air, maritime, and ground transportation (including point of origin at both air/sea ports to destination) is key to fulfill the requirement. In addition, warehousing services, essential equipment, and all necessary labor to fulfill such transportation services, are needed to successfully complete FEMA’s mission in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
