The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment, personnel, and logistics for operations that may occur locally, regionally, or nationwide. Proposed rates should be based on up to a 16-hour daily shift, and agreements will be awarded to vendors registered with the dispatch center closest to their resource location. The government anticipates awarding multiple agreements through a total Small Business set-aside. Vendors must be registered in SAM, have a UEI number, a Login.gov account, and submit quotes electronically via the VIPR system.
