FEMA Contracts: US Federal Contractor Registration Helps Businesses Register With FEMA

By Max Timko


Available FEMA contracts for registered contractors. When a natural disaster occurs, the United States Federal Government looks to American businesses to assist in the disaster relief efforts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and other government procurement officers will award sole source contacts, or better known as no bid contracts to businesses that are prepared for these opportunities. These no bid contracts are awarded immediately to businesses that are on the site of the disaster. These selected contractors do not have to go through the normal sealed bidding process and can get right to work with a guaranteed contract. The Federal Emergency Management Agency spends approximately $1 billion every year on government contracts to registered federal contractors. Contractors must become registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to applying to become a FEMA contractor.

Many contractors don't even think about their registration until an opportunity has presented itself. With a disaster response contract from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, neglecting registration can spell almost certain failure. Immediately after a disaster, there is a flood of contractors looking for work. Most contracts are awarded to local contractors who simply show up ready to work. If a business is unprepared due to a lapsed registration, it is unlikely the noncompliant business will be awarded a contract. Even if a business is awarded a contract, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be unable to pay that business until their government registration and FEMA registration is completed.

US Federal Contractor Registration has streamlined the government registration process by assigning a Case Manager and Government Acquisition Specialist to every interested vendor. Businesses that are unfamiliar with the government registration process have been contacting US Federal Contractor Registration to become registered in SAM and approved as an official FEMA contractor. Businesses can call the US Federal Contractor Registration Contractor Hotline to qualify for government contracting and submit their business as a FEMA contractor to aid in disaster relief efforts.
