This RFP is issued as an unrestricted procurement. The Government intends to issue a single-award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for this effort.
The selected Contractor will support CWMD’s community-wide approach in working with emergency management officials through a defined process of understanding the current capability, understanding the unique chemical threats to a community, and through scenario-based response training and exercises. This approach will allow CWMD to support communities throughout the country in agile decision making and response capabilities during a chemical incident, to include the identification of those critical decision points, information flows, and decision making defined by position and affiliation during a response to a chemical incident.
This approach will be accomplished with a chemical vulnerability, threat, and unmitigated risk assessment process that will over the course of CWMD’s engagement with a community will align the entire response capability.
• Threat and Vulnerability – Within each community, map the framework of all known high-risk chemicals, prevention resources available, response resources available, interconnections between responders, and response coordination across every stakeholder.
• Risk Assessment – Using this mapped framework build scenarios for each community to work through risk and identify gaps in capabilities.
• Enhanced Readiness – Build a repeatable process for CWMD to use across every community in the United States regardless of size to build their community into a national prevention and response capability.
