2021 FEMA Annual Contracting Profile Report – $9.4 Billion in Spending

Do you know how to do business with FEMA? FedBiz Access Annual Contracting Profile lets you know what they buy; how they buy; and how to do business with FEMA.

To help our country be better prepared the Department of Homeland Security has established FEMA’s Industry Liaison Program (“ILP”).  The ILP creates strategic relationships with suppliers and stakeholders; serves as an information provider for suppliers seeking to do business with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”); and connects suppliers with program offices in support of FEMA’s mission.

The FEMA’s goal with the ILP is to seek local companies within the disaster area for goods and services related to a specific disaster when practical and feasible. In fiscal year 2021, FEMA spent $2.1 billion or 22% of its total spending with small businesses.

The report provides information on the top spending categories by NAICS and PSC codes, spending by FEMA offices, how contracts were competed and issued, and top prime contractors used.

In addition, the report includes access to a 90-minute video from a top contracting officer within FEMA on how to best do business with the agency. The video gives you an inside look into how FEMA operates

FedBiz Access works with its clients across industries to complete their vendor profile for the ILP as part of establishing their foundation in government contracting by ensuring their registrations are current, complete, and compliant.

The report is your guide to creating relationships and opening doors within FEMA. The goal is to help FEMA remain prepared to make our homes, businesses, communities, and country more ready and resilient in the face of natural, adversarial, accidental, and technological hazards. 

Just within the past year our country has faced natural disasters from hurricanes in Louisiana, flooding in the Midwest, to wildfires in California.  Despite these tremendous challenges, the American people remain steadfast in their commitment to overcoming any adversity.
