- Description
- National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Description The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Headquarters is seeking a contractor under full and open competition to conduct studies on the impact of climate change on the National Flood Insurance Program and to determine whether policies and methodologies for mapping coastal special flood hazard areas should be revised. This involves three different (albeit related) studies or analyses to be performed. They include: (1) a study recommended by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that would analyze the impact of climate change on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); (2) concerns regarding the use of the primary frontal dune in determining the landward boundary of Velocity (V) Zones; and (3) questions regarding whether the NFIP should map and manage coastal A Zones separately from riverine A Zones and develop insurance rates that are specific to this new insurance class. The government intends to use performance-based contracting methods for this procurement. In addition, in awarding this contract, the government will use the procedures established in FAR Part 15. It is anticipated that the period of performance will be 18 months from the date of contract award. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will only be available on Federal Business Opportunity web pages at http://www.fedbizopps.gov/. Prospective offerors are responsible for downloading the RFP and all attachments. It is the offeror’s responsibility to monitor Fedbizopps web page for the release of the solicitation and any amendments that may follow.
