Pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is authorized to provide individual and public assistance under Presidential declarations of a disaster and emergency.  Under the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act, FEMA is responsible for developing an efficient logistics system for procurement and delivery of goods and services necessary for an effective and timely response to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters.  In addition, the Homeland Security Act authorizes FEMA to help ensure the effectiveness of emergency response providers in responding to a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster. Types of disasters and emergencies that could happen across the United States are, but not limited to hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, tornadoes, blizzards, acts of terrorism, tsunamis, or avalanches.  FEMA also plays a role in assisting with events designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security as National Special Security Events (NSSEs) and with respect to National Response Framework activities of federal agencies.
The contractor shall construct and operate a Responder Support Camp (RSC) in which to stage responders and other authorized personnel and assets deployed for occurrences or events requiring a federal government response. The National Responder Support Camps contract will be used by FEMA, or by other federal agencies through FEMA, consistent with the specific authorities of the agency utilizing the contract’s services.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards. During disaster situations or other events, FEMA federal, state and local responders may need a place that provides shelter, food, and additional basic needs.  Hence the need for the procurement of effective and efficient Responder Support Camps is present. 
 
The National Responder Support Camps contract will be used at the time a Federal disaster is declared, or any other time FEMA or an agency working through FEMA needs a RSC.  FEMA shall be able to call upon vendor(s) to provide RSC services in the Continental United States (CONUS).
