This amendment clarifies and extends the Request for Quote (RFQ) 70FBR826Q00000001 for establishing multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BPAs) for housing replacement services on the Crow Reservation. Key updates include: pricing submissions are for ordering agreements only, not direct contracts; the RFQ due date is extended to November 12, 2025; and several attachments, including a revised Statement of Work and pricing worksheet, are incorporated. Offerors no longer need to submit a signed SF1449 but must complete Reps and Certs. Submissions require a technical approach, past performance, and price, with evaluation based on Best Value—Comparative Analysis, prioritizing Technical, then Past Performance, then Price. The government seeks to award multiple BPAs, considering local and small businesses, and will evaluate offers without initial discussions. This BPA does not obligate funds; orders will be funded at the call level, with competition for calls above the micro-purchase threshold.

The Department of Homeland Security's FEMA has issued a Statement of Work (SOW) for a Permanent Housing Replacement Program (DR-4847-CTM) on the Apsáalooke Nation (Crow) Reservation in Montana. This program, approved following severe storms in August 2024, aims to provide eligible disaster survivors with Manufactured Home Units (MHUs), Travel Trailer Units (TTUs), and Tiny Homes (THs). The SOW details requirements for these units, including cold climate adaptation (Zone 6), structural loads, and compatibility with rural infrastructure. It also covers additional tasks such as demolition of damaged structures, site preparation, and the hauling and installation of replacement homes. The project emphasizes compliance with Federal, State, and Tribal laws, including the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO). The ordering period for the Basic Purchasing Agreement (BPA) is from the date of award through May 15, 2025.

This government file outlines a request for proposal (RFP) for the provision of various housing units—manufactured/mobile homes, tiny homes, and travel trailers—to be delivered to the Apsáalooke Nation (Crow) Reservation in Big Horn County, Montana. The project, titled "Permanent Housing Replacement Pricing Worksheet," aims to provide an estimated 70 homes, broken down into 29 manufactured/mobile homes, 18 tiny homes, and 23 travel trailers. Each housing type is categorized under a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. The RFP details the scope of work for each CLIN (Contract Line Item Number), specifying the estimated ceiling quantity for each housing type and stating that the exact quantity will be determined per BPA (Blanket Purchase Agreement) Call. The description emphasizes adherence to BPA terms, the Statement of Work (SOW), and an approved BPA price list. Delivery schedules will be established at the task order level, dependent on unit availability and manufacturing timeframes.

This document addresses numerous questions and comments regarding a federal government Request for Proposal (RFP) for housing units, likely FEMA-related. Key areas of clarification include ADA compliance, award dates for Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) holders, Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO) fees, wage determinations (SCA vs. Davis Bacon), the number of anticipated BPA holders, and FEMA's expectations regarding floorplans. Significant discussion revolves around the scope of work, specifically concerning site preparation, demolition, haul, and installation—whether these are required, always included, or priced separately. Delivery timelines, wind/roof load requirements, and applicable building codes (HUD, IRC) for various housing types (MHU, tiny homes, travel trailers) are also critical points. The document further clarifies invoicing and payment terms (no progress payments), state licensing requirements, mobilization and installation timeframes, and specifics for tiny home units such as foundation types, off-grid capabilities, and layout requirements. FEMA's responses emphasize that many details will be provided in subsequent Requests for Quote (RFQs) and SOW amendments, confirming the need for demolition and site prep, and reiterating performance periods starting at task order award. It also addresses specific contractor questions about material specifications, Energy Star ratings, and site visits, while clarifying the definition of "safe, sanitary, and functional" housing.

The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is initiating a Permanent Housing Replacement Program (DR-4847-CTM) for the Apsáalooke Nation (Crow) Reservation in Montana. This program addresses housing damage caused by severe storms on August 6, 2024, aiming to replace destroyed primary residences. FEMA will establish a Basic Purchasing Agreement (BPA) for Manufactured Home Units (MHUs), Travel Trailer Units (TTUs), and Tiny Homes (THs) to provide direct assistance. The BPA also includes demolition of existing damaged structures, site preparation, and the hauling and installation of these units. All housing units must be new, unused, and adapted for Montana's cold climate (Zone 6), complying with specific thermal performance, structural load, and rural infrastructure compatibility requirements. Contractors must also adhere to the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO) for work performed on the reservation. The ordering period for this BPA is from the date of award through May 15, 2026, with performance potentially extending beyond this date.

This government file outlines a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for providing permanent housing units, including manufactured/mobile homes (CLIN 0001), tiny homes (CLIN 0002), and travel trailers (CLIN 0003), to the Apsáalooke Nation (Crow) Reservation in Big Horn County, Montana. The BPA covers an estimated 70 homes (29 MHUs, 18 Tiny Homes, 23 TTUs). Each CLIN specifies that the per-unit FFP is inclusive of all items and services required for a safe, sanitary, and functional unit, from manufacture/supply and delivery/haul to site preparation, installation/setup, utility connections, functional checks, wraparound services, and turnover documentation. Units must meet specific standards (e.g., HUD Code, IRC, ANSI A119.5, NFPA 1192/ANSI) and Crow Nation site ratings. The BPA explicitly excludes extensive site construction. The quantity for each unit type will be determined per BPA Call, with acceptance upon successful setup and documentation.

The Crow Tribe's Tribal Employment Rights Regulations (TERO) establish comprehensive guidelines for Indian preference in employment, training, contracting, and subcontracting within its jurisdiction. These regulations, issued under the Crow Nation Workforce Protection Act, aim to promote economic development and self-sufficiency for the Crow Tribe and its members. Key provisions include mandatory Indian preference for employers and entities operating on Crow lands, with specific rules for hiring, training, and promotion of qualified Indians living on or near the reservation. The regulations also detail preferences for Indian-certified firms in contracting and subcontracting, including competitive and negotiated awards, and outline requirements for technical qualifications and reasonable pricing. A fee structure is established for covered employers and entities, with exemptions for certain organizations. The document also includes administrative procedures for compliance, individual complaints, hearings, sanctions, and appeals, ensuring due process. Furthermore, it sets forth rigorous criteria and procedures for certifying firms as Indian preference eligible, emphasizing legitimate Indian ownership and control to prevent abuse of the preference program.

Measurements occur at critical milestones, with weekly and monthly KPI tracking.
