The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking to acquire three Mobile Emergency Office Vehicles (MEOV) that are TEMPEST certified and protected against electromagnetic pulses. These vehicles are intended for rapid deployment in disaster scenarios, providing essential support to affected populations and disaster management teams. The procurement process includes a detailed project timeline with phases for construction, inspections, and training. The specifications outline stringent requirements for truck chassis, office coach exterior, functional, operational, and communication systems, ensuring the vehicles can operate effectively under challenging conditions. Key features include advanced electrical systems, environmental controls, well-equipped workstations, and integral safety measures. The vehicles must be self-sustaining for 24 hours without power and compliant with safety regulations. This statement of work highlights FEMA’s commitment to enhancing emergency response capabilities through modern, durable mobile solutions.
The document outlines inquiries related to the Mobile Emergency Office Vehicles (MEOV) specified in a government RFP. Key issues addressed include confirmation of the gross vehicle weight rating, customer-supplied equipment (CSE), and the requirement for both the vehicle and trailer to be HEMP shielded per MIL-STD-188-125-2. It clarifies that the contractor is accountable for testing both the trailer and vehicle to meet illumination requirements, as well as confirming the expected radio frequency (RF) attenuation performance, set at 100dB at 1GHz and 10GHz.
The communication establishes that while the customer does not require additional security measures for TEMPEST compliance, an STC of 50 rating for sound insulation is desirable. Additionally, responses confirm the absence of specific DHS/FEMA guidelines for vehicle decals, with an agreement to update project specifications accordingly. The document's purpose is to clarify requirements and responsibilities in the RFP, facilitating clearer communication between the government and potential contractors, ensuring compliance with standards, and defining roles concerning equipment and performance specifications.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the procurement of three Mobile Emergency Office Vehicles (MEOVs) that are TEMPEST certified and protected from High-Altitude Electro-Magnetic Pulse (HEMP) threats. This RFI seeks input to assess vendor capabilities related to the project, with vehicles required to adhere to specifications outlined in the accompanying Statement of Work (SOW). Interested providers must submit responses detailing their ability to deliver the vehicles and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) for costs by the specified deadlines. Key requirements for vendor submissions include business information, point of contact details, existing contract numbers, and company classification (e.g., small business). The deadline for RFI questions is April 24, 2025, while capability statements are due by May 1, 2025. These vehicles are intended to enhance FEMA's emergency communication capabilities across the continental United States.
