    Description

    The Department of Homeland Security, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is seeking to enter into a sole source contract with The Palms at Pine Island for the lease of commercial pad sites in Florida to provide temporary housing for individuals displaced by Hurricane Ian (Disaster #DR4673-FL). This procurement aims to secure Manufactured Housing Units (MHUs) and Recreational Vehicles (RVs) for affected survivors, addressing an urgent need for housing in the aftermath of the disaster. The contract, valued at up to $298,080.00, is structured as a firm fixed-price agreement for an initial six-month period, with options for two additional six-month extensions, justified by the limited availability of suitable sites within a 50-mile radius and the necessity for expedited action in an emergency context. Interested parties can reach out to Ashlee Young at ashlee.young@fema.dhs.gov for further information regarding this opportunity.

    1.5.1 Palms_at_Pine_Island_MHP SSJ.pdf
    The Sole Source Justification (SSJ) outlines the need for FEMA to lease commercial pad sites in Florida for temporary housing following Hurricane Ian (Disaster# DR4673FL). This action, authorized under FAR Subpart 13.5 and the Stafford Act, enables FEMA to provide Manufactured Housing Units (MHU) and Recreational Vehicles (RV) to displaced survivors. The contract, valued at up to $298,080.00, is a firm fixed-price agreement with The Palms at Pine Island for a base period of six months with two six-month options. The sole source approach is justified by the urgent need for housing, the geographical limitations of available sites within a 50-mile radius of survivors' damaged homes, and the administrative burden and inefficiency of full competition in an emergency. Market research identified potential sites, with pricing based on HUD's Fair Market Rent. FEMA aims to increase future competition by contracting with new, small business vendors.
