Hurricane season is upon us, so many small businesses are scrambling to get in position to engage with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to aid in disaster relief efforts. In preparation for the upcoming Govology webinar, “Doing Business with Federal Emergency Management Agency”, I realized how ill-informed I am on FEMA’s spending habits thus far. It’s been a while since I’ve done a thorough data dive so I went ahead and skimmed the surface. Below are a summary of my findings, translated into terms that hopefully anyone can understand.
FEMA Spending NAICS
So far during FY2021 (which for those of you who are new to contracting, the federal fiscal year begins on October 1), FEMA has spent a considerable amount of money in the following NAICS codes: 541611, 541350, 621910, 541511, 541519, 236220, 561210, 524292, 561990. If your small business’s core competencies fall into one of these categories, I strongly recommend you attend the upcoming webinar to be introduced to FEMA’s 2021 initiatives. Visit NAICS.com to determine if your small business fits into these codes, even if not your primary.
PSC Codes Utilized
I include these because NAICS codes are really only for the government to track where the money is being spent, not necessarily to describe what you actually do. Here are the top PSC categories for FEMA’s FY2021 so far: R702, R429, R499, Q999, N045, H156, W023, D399, R408, Q403. You can cross-reference these using the PSC Manual to determine which are relevant to you.
Geography
While FEMA made purchases in all states, those with the largest tabs are VA ($409.6M), SC ($43.7M), FL ($52M), CA ($34.9M), and MD ($36.8M).

Here’s another fun fact I noticed in the data … Every single procurement office within FEMA put out a contract so far this year that only received ONE respondent, in most cases when there should’ve been more.
