- Description
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched the Pre-positioned Equipment Program (PEP). PEP consists of standardized equipment Pods that are located in designated geographic areas to permit rapid deployment of equipment and personnel to incidents involving the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In eight (8) planned locations Nationwide, commercial off the shelf equipment items will be stored in pods, transportable by land or air within 1 to 12 hours after help is requested. This equipment is specially tailored to sustain and reconstitute the capabilities of Federal, State and local first responders to react to WMD events. Through formal request and deployment procedures, the Federal Government will transfer PEP pods to specifically designated officials. A total of eight (8) operational PEP sites have been established, along with one (1) Special Events Pod (SEP). Strategically placed throughout the country, these equipment pods will be available to respond to an incident in any major population center across the continental U.S. within 12 hours. The FEMA plan provides for immediate ground or air transportation of the first pod, including a team of support staff. If circumstances warrant an even greater level of support, FEMA may dispatch additional, fully-equipped pods to the site, either by ground or air. It is anticipated that the Government will award a single contract with a base and four option years, that will contain firm-fixed price and time and material line items. This is a best value acquisition; therefore Offerors are cautioned that award may not necessarily be made to the lowest-priced Offeror. To be eligible for award, all Offerors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR). Information on the CCR may be obtained at http://ccr.edi.disa.mil. Once issued, the RFP may be viewed on the U.S. Army RDECOM Acquisition Center Natick Contracting Division webpage at https://www3.natick.army.mil. Questions concerning this synopsis shall be directed to Stephen S. Abate, Contract Specialist, at Stephen.Abate@us.army.mil All proposals must be received (Facsimile proposals will not be accepted) via mail and e-mail no later than October 15, 2008 at 12:00p.m (EST).
