Disaster Assistance
If you are contacting FEMA seeking to do business in support of a disaster recovery effort, please be aware that in accordance with the Robert T. Stafford Act, FEMA's goal is to seek local companies within the disaster area for services related to a specific disaster when practical and feasible. The ILP establishes strategic relationships with suppliers and stakeholders; serves as an information provider for suppliers seeking to do business with FEMA; and connects suppliers with program offices in support of FEMA's mission. The ILP encourages your business to review the information referenced below.
- Register with the System for Award Management (SAM)
Official Federal Government registration is processed within SAM www.sam.gov
. Direct all questions regarding the SAM registration process to the Federal Service Desk at
1
-866-606-8220.
To get started with your SAM registration, you must have the following:
2. Voluntary submission of the Vendor Profile Form
The Vendor Profile Form can serve as supplemental market research for the agency. Information supplied should not be proprietary or sensitive in nature. Please be specific about how your products and/or services can support FEMA's mission.
Submission of the Vendor Profile Form does not imply a guaranteed meeting or contract award.
*Please click on the following link to access the vendor profile form: Industry Liaison Program Vendor Profile Form
*NOTE: FEMA does not charge any company a basic registration fee. There are companies that replicate services of Federal Government entities and there are typically fees associated with their services. Most Federal Government services, if not all, are free of charge. Always make it a practice to reach out to the appropriate Federal agency first to inquire about the validity of the service, specifically if a fee is associated with it.
All meeting requests are at the discretion and availability of the FEMA Contracting Officer, Program Office, and FEMA representatives. If the agency identifies the need to meet to further discuss your company and its capabilities you will be contacted.
Types of Meetings Currently Offered:
- Face-to-Face Meetings
- Conference Calls

Wisconsin eSupplier Bidder Portal
On September 12, 2017, the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration officially launched the Wisconsin eSupplier Bidder Portal, which will replace the State Bureau of Procurement's VendorNet bidder registration and solicitation notification process for state agencies. This new technology will streamline the bidding process and will offer vendors an opportunity to respond to electronic bids posted by Wisconsin state agencies, manage their bidder contact information, and search for other procurement resources. State agencies will use STAR to post and manage bids and interested bidders will use the Wisconsin eSupplier Portal to respond. Please note that VendorNet will still be available for use by University of Wisconsin System campuses and municipalities.
There will be a number of resources available to help you make this transition with us, including an interactive training video, user guides (otherwise known as "job aids"), access to Frequently Asked Questions, and contact information for the STAR Support Help Desk. We anticipate these resources will be available to you on September 12, 2017.
Available Now!
Learn the steps you will need to take to sign up for an account on eSupplier once it launches. You can access this through the link above or by going to
VendorNet.wi.gov
and navigating to General Procurement > Strategic Sourcing.
An archive of emails and letters that have been sent to bidders regarding this transition process is available through the link above or by going to
VendorNet.wi.gov
and navigating to General Procurement > Strategic Sourcing.
Coming Soon!
- Interactive Training Video "Introduction to eSupplier: Bidder Portal"
- More Job Aids
- Bidder FAQs - let us know if you have any questions you'd like us to address in our upcoming FAQ!

Jurisdiction Threshold - DOL Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
The infographic is designed to explain jurisdictional thresholds for federal contractors and subcontractors under Executive Order 11246, as amended (Executive Order); Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Section 503); and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA). It includes the increase to Section 503's coverage threshold from $10,000 to $15,000 and the VEVRRA's recent increase from $100,000 to $150,000. The increases result from an inflationary adjustment statute that authorizes the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to review and adjust acquisition-related threshold amounts in statutes that apply to federal procurement.

4 NDAA amendments to watch as Senate takes up bill
The Senate is likely voting on the 2018 defense authorization bill sometime this week or next and with it are nearly 400 amendments.
Those amendments have the potential to add important provisions to the bill that affect personnel, strategy and policy.
While all of them won't pass, ones that fail can still be used to gauge support on an issue depending on how many votes it gets.
Federal News Radio put together a list of important amendments for you to watch as the Senate decides which amendments make it to the floor and possibly into the bill.
