The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Logistics Management Directorate (LMD) is responsible for managing Logistics response and providing support for disaster relief requirements. FEMA has an ongoing need to procure emergency supplies and commodities in large quantities to provide immediate emergency logistics support to survivors that are affected by disasters in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside of Continental United States (OCONUS) area. FEMA must provide drinking water for potentially millions of survivors for days, sometimes stretching to weeks. The drinking water is sourced through a combination of FEMA stockpile, immediate fulfillment contracts, and federal partner stockpile. Currently FEMA lacks sufficient space to keep full amount of water in stock in OCONUS locations, such as Puerto Rico, U.S Virgin Islands, Hawaii, and Guam. Fulfilling water delivery from CONUS during disaster response was logistically challenging with extended delivery time.
