Typhoon Sinlaku - Tent Support Packages

The contract supports emergency sheltering efforts for Typhoon Sinlaku through the acquisition of tent support packages under the General Services Administration’s Emergency Acquisition Basic Ordering Agreement, solicitation number 47QMCH26F0003. Authorized under FAR 6.103-2 and the Stafford Act, this procurement leverages a pre-vetted pool of 19 contractors to ensure rapid response, with orders requiring a 5-hour solicitation response time and delivery initiation within 24 hours of placement. The place of performance is Aiea, Hawaii, with the contracting office located in Washington, DC, operating on behalf of FEMA. The estimated value for this specific order is $574,891.80, derived from commercial market pricing determined competitively among qualified vendors rather than fixed line-item pricing, and is supported by FEMA’s Commonly Used Sheltering Items & Service Listing to ensure alignment with emergency needs. All participating contractors are small businesses, though no specific socioeconomic certifications such as HUBZone or WOSB are documented as requirements. The agreement operates without formal contract clauses, detailed packaging standards, inspection criteria, or specified marking and barcoding requirements, reflecting its emergency-driven, flexible nature designed to bypass traditional procurement constraints. Delivery terms, including FOB conditions, are not defined, and no formal evaluation factors, payment office details, or accounting codes like TAS or AAC are provided in the documentation. Instead, performance is governed by the urgency of the event and the contractor's ability to meet operational timelines. The framework allows for acquisition of any commercial supply or service without predefined catalogs, and vendor performance is subject to annual reviews with open on-ramping events available through SAM.gov to fill capability gaps. While electronic submission via SAM.gov and GSA systems is implied, no specific submission formats, file types, or invoice processing methods are specified, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical review roles are named, underscoring the streamlined, expedited structure of this emergency acquisition mechanism.
