Want to Work with FEMA on Disaster Recovery Efforts?

Hello GovCon Besties!

FEMA prioritizes working with local businesses within disaster-affected areas whenever possible, as outlined in the Robert T. Stafford Act. If you're ready to support disaster recovery efforts, here’s how to get started:

4 Steps to Get Your Business FEMA-Ready

1️⃣ Connect with Resources:
Tap into free help from Apex Accelerators (formerly APTAC), Minority Business Development Centers, or National Minority Supplier Development Council affiliates.

2️⃣ Register on SAM.gov:
SAM registration is free and essential to compete for federal contracts. Visit SAM.gov or call 866-606-8220 for assistance.

3️⃣ Understand FEMA’s Mission:
Learn how FEMA coordinates disaster response and recovery with federal, state, and local agencies.

4️⃣ Search for Opportunities:

  • Review open solicitations on SAM.gov.
  • Check FEMA's Advance Contract List to see contracts pre-approved for disaster response.
  • Look for subcontracting opportunities with DHS Prime Contractors.
  • Don’t forget state and local disaster contracts, especially in sectors like debris removal, construction, and transportation.

💡 Pro Tips: Beware of third-party scams, monitor FEMA's vendor programs, and learn about small business certifications via the SBA.

Get full details and stay updated with FEMA resources at FEMA.gov.

Let’s help rebuild communities, one opportunity at a time!

Stay Awesome,
