Request for Information (RFI) - Drinking Water

FEMA’s Logistics Management Division is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of supplying disaster‑relief drinking water—including canned, extended‑shelf‑life, and conventional bottled water—across the continental United States, overseas locations, and U.S. territories. The agency seeks detailed capability statements covering production, packaging, storage, transportation, and rapid‑response delivery (900,000 L within 24 hours) for both emergency and steady‑state missions. Responses will inform a future multiple‑award IDIQ contract that is expected to be set‑aside for small businesses. • Must provide all three water product types (canned, 10‑year extended‑shelf‑life, conventional bottled). • Must demonstrate ability to deliver 900,000 L/day within 24 hours of award and sustain deliveries for up to 30 days for steady‑state orders. • Must have nationwide (CONUS) and OCONUS logistics capability, meet FEMA’s packaging restrictions (1‑gallon HDPE/PET excluded), and be prepared to submit a concise 10‑page capability response by 4 Nov 2026.
