Description
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. ??5121 et seq.)(Stafford Act), to provide assistance to applicants of Presidentially-declared disasters and emergencies. When the President declares a disaster, FEMA accepts applications from disaster victims for disaster assistance from the designated geographical areas via a toll-free telephone number. FEMA is responsible for the accurate and efficient routing and processing of fluctuating customer calls, where customer service representatives perform the call center supported registration process. In order to meet disaster surge requirements, private sector call center capability is being sought. This action seeks to establish private sector call centers with infrastructure and qualified and trained staff in place prior to the height of the 2006 Hurricane Season. These private sector call centers will maintain a state of readiness and be ready at the time of a disaster (a state of readiness) to immediately begin accepting applications from disaster victims for disaster assistance via a toll-free telephone number. The contractor will provide turnkey service of telephone representatives, equipment and technology systems that would be both compatible and effective in this environment, and facilities to support the disaster assistance application effort. FEMA intends to issue one or more, Performance Based, Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract(s) based on full and open competition.
