FEMA's Deployment Management Solution

Department of Homeland Security · Federal Emergency Management Agency · INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINMENT
Account requiredWhy it scored this way

Every reason behind the verdict rather than the headline one — which of your certifications match, how much runway is left, whether the work is your size, and what we would need to know to sharpen it.

Solicitation documents

The requirements that decide a bid — bonding, clearances, experience minimums, page limits — live in the attachments, not in the notice above. Start a free trial to upload them and have them read.

Draft the paperwork

Written against this notice and what you have told us about your company. Anything we do not know is marked [NEEDS INPUT] in the draft rather than guessed at — read it before you send it. Federal notices routinely put the real requirement in an attachment; adding the documents above makes every one of these materially better.

Start a free trial to draft these. Nothing is sent to an agency on your behalf, ever — you get a document to review, edit and submit yourself.

What would disqualify you

Read straight from the solicitation documents: the bonding, clearances, insurance minimums, experience thresholds and deadlines that decide whether you can bid at all — before you write a word.

Sources Sought response

A complete draft response — capability statement, relevant past performance, business size and socioeconomic status, and answers to the agency's specific questions.

Questions to submit

Genuine ambiguities and requirements that disadvantage a smaller bidder, drafted as questions you can submit before the Q&A deadline.

Past performance write-ups

Which of your prior awards best match this requirement, and draft write-ups in the format the agency asked for.

Market intelligence

Account requiredWho wins this work, and what it pays

Comparable awards under NAICS 541511 at this agency — the incumbent, what they were paid, when their period of performance ends, and the real pricing distribution rather than the headline number. From public federal award records.

Statement of work, as posted

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is conducting market research to identify commercial of the shelf (COTS), configurable commercial of the shelf (CCOTS), custom, or hybrid solutions capable of replacing the legacy Deployment Tracking System (DTS) and materially improving Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) incident workforce management capabilities. The replacement solution should support workforce readiness, personnel availability, qualifications, certifications, training, deployment tracking, incident and event staffing, force package management, equipment assignment, reporting, analytics, secure cloud hosting, and interoperability with existing FEMA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) systems. FEMA is seeking information on solutions that improve readiness visibility, accelerate staffing, reduce manual work, strengthen data quality, support surge operations, improve reporting and analytics, and reduce long-term sustainment burden. The estimated dollar value for this requirement is $50 Million to $100 Million dollars over a five to ten year period. See attachment for full description and submittal details. Amendment 0001 Any questions to this Response for Information/Sources Sought notice is due no later than 12:00PM, Monday, October 5, 2026. The response due date is hereby extended as stated in this notice. If you already submitted questions, please do not resubmit; we will answer all questions at the same time by publishing an amendment to this notice. Amendment 0002 The response date is hereby extended to October 20, 2026 as indicated in this annoucement. We hereby incorporate the Vendor's Profile Excel template for submission. If you already submitted your vendor profile in Excel, you do not need to resubmit.
