Background

Historically, there has been an absence of adequate and appropriate shelter support and care for sheltered disaster survivors who require Consumable Medical Supplies (CMS) resources. The provision of Consumable Medical Supplies (e.g., medications, diapers, and bandages) are medical supplies which may be ingested, injected, or applied and/or are one-time usage. The CMS list herein has been developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Mass Care Functional Needs Support Services (FNSS) review group.

This document identifies the basic consumable medical supplies necessary to sustain and support a 100-200 person shelter for a 72 hour period, which FEMA may provide as supplemental assistance to shelter providers when requested by a State; pursuant to Section 403 (b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 93-288) as amended.

Objectives

For Market Research Only- FEMA is seeking information regarding vendor capabilities to assemble and deliver Consumable Medical Supplies complete kits and/or individual CMS ala carte items (identified in Attachment 1) in both steady-state to maintain stock levels and for Emergency Response/Surge Operations to designated locations/shelters within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) delivery locations.
