Doing Business with FEMA

NOTE: This session was recorded on October 5th 2022.

This recorded session includes the session video, handouts, presentation and links to the Monday Roundtables. This Package is valid for 30 days.

Briefing Overview

During national emergencies like hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico, floods in Michigan, and fires in California, standard procurement processes are waived as FEMA turns to pre-registered, pre-qualified vendors for support. With hundreds of billions allocated to disaster relief and recovery through 2022 and 2023, FEMA has an unprecedented need for qualified contractors in support of FEMA’s recovery mission.

FEMA currently has disaster recovery efforts throughout the US as a result of COVID as well as specific emergency recovery operations in Texas, the Midwest, Southeast, California, and Puerto Rico. Businesses that can provide emergency products and services, construction services, logistics, and supplies are encouraged to attend.

SAM.gov – Engaging Federal Buyers

While SAM.gov is where federal buyers review your registration and validate your company for federal business, SAM.gov coupled with FPDS.gov provides a complete picture of the competitive landscape and proper research will provide you with buyers that you need to engage with in your space. Since SAM.gov is reported as one of the most frustrating platforms for federal contractors to use, this session will help you maximize SAM.gov as well as other government systems.

Sole-Source Contract Justification & Approvals (J&A)

Unlike a socio-economic sole source (8a, WOSB, SDVOSB) procurement professionals often use J&As with any size company including large manufacturers of OEM products. Since 38% of ALL federal contract awards show a SINGLE response your company may qualify for sole source awards.
