FEMA Quick Start Process for Vendors
http://www.fema.gov/privatesector/industry/quickstart_vendors.shtmAn overview of the steps you’ll need to take to get registered for FEMA work. (Also described below.)
FEMA Central Contractor Registration
www.ccr.gov
This is the primary registrant database for the federal government. It collects, validates, stores and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions. You must first register here before bidding on any FEMA work. Questions? Call 866-606-8220.
Note: You must renew this registration every year. For questions about this annual renewal process, go to https://www.fsd.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/162
FEMA Vendor Profile
After you have registered with the Central Contractor Registration (see above), email a request for a FEMA Vendor Profile to the address above. Complete the profile and email it back to the same address for processing. FEMA uses this profile during disasters, forwarding the information to the appropriate contracting officers for the declared disaster area. Questions? Call 202-646-1895.
FEMA requires you to fill out additional information for disaster response work when you register in the Central Contractor Registration database. (More detailed information can be found in the CCR User’s Guide. On the left-side menu of the CCR User’s Guide, click on “Disaster Response” under “Quick Start Guide.”)
