LOGHOUSE 2023 Solicitation Background

Under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended, and Related Authorities, Section 408 Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households (42 U.S.C. 5174), FEMA provides assistance to individuals and households who have been affected by a federally declared disaster. In order for FEMA to be response-ready, FEMA procures, stores, transports, installs, and maintains manufactured homes (MHUs) that are used as temporary housing units. The Temporary Housing Storage Sites (THSS) inventory is based on the anticipated needs of disaster survivors nationwide. When a disaster response requires a temporary housing mission, the Agency ships manufactured homes from the on-hand readiness inventory to a staging area at the disaster site.

FEMA’s use of MHUs is an alternative for Section 408 which requires FEMA to provide financial and, if necessary, direct services, to individuals and households. As part of direct assistance, in general – The President may provide temporary housing units, acquired by purchase or lease, directly to individuals or households. LOGistics Housing Operations Unit inStallation, maintenance, and deactivation (LOGHOUSE) is the service component that ensures these MHUs are transported (hauled), installed, maintained, and uninstalled (deactivated). In order to support FEMA’s manufactured housing program, the agency plans to issue indefinite deliverable/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide hauling, installation, maintenance, and deactivation support as well as development and construction of group sites.

This acquisition will provide FEMA with contractors who are ready to provide services that will support multiple, mobile, direct housing missions anywhere within the Contiguous 48 United States (CONUS). This acquisition provides services and does not include the acquisition of a major system.

It is estimated that the IDIQ will be awarded for an initial period of one (1) year with four (4) one-year options for an estimated IDIQ Total Ceiling of $2.62 Billion.
