Disaster Response Branch FESP Equipment Refresh FY2027

This request is for Information Technology equipment that is critical to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) disaster response mission. The equipment is managed and installed by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Disaster Response Branch (DRB). The Disaster Response Branch (DRB) mission is to provide voice, data, and video technologies for disaster field offices in compliance with Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) policy. The Disaster Response Branch (DRB) is the only branch with authority to extend the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Enterprise Service Provider (FESP) equipment into the field offices created during times of presidentially declared federal disasters. This request is for necessary Information Technology (IT) equipment to be provided within the disaster facilities to enable internal and external communications for federal, state, and tribal governments. To fulfill this mission, critical Information Technology (IT) infrastructure equipment must be replaced and/or purchased to comply with strict DHS/FEMA security standards. This equipment includes but is not limited to Cisco equipment and hardware, peripherals and various consumables. This equipment is used exclusively for disaster operations and cannot legally be used for any other purpose. To mitigate this risk of mission failure, and the security risk to the Agency and DHS, expedited purchase of equipment that meets DHS/FEMA security and configuration requirements is essential. Without this approval, the impact to mission response times will be affected greatly. The Disaster Response Branch (DRB) will not be able to effectively complete their mission in supporting the disaster field operations and survivors resulting in survivors not getting the appropriate and necessary assistance in field operations.
