SBA ODR&R RFI: $90M Disaster Recovery, Mitigation, Policy, and Data Analytics Support Services IDIQ

Notice ID:  2024AFDWA5WARGAMING

The mission of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience (ODRR) is to connect individuals, businesses, and private non-profits with SBA disaster assistance programs and improve disaster recovery outcomes and economic resilience by helping communities prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against disasters of all types.

This requirement will help SBA’s ODRR team provide incident management support, technical assistance materials development, and robust analytical support to inform decision-making processes in preparation for a disaster declaration and after a declared disaster event.  This project will ensure that there is a highly refined and integrated flow of information from across the agency, interagency, national, and external sources to inform the Administrator’s economic recovery priorities.

The Economic Impact Assessment is generally compiled between 2 and 12 months following a disaster.  To better serve potential SBA disaster loan program applicants effectively and equitably, SBA conducts economic impact assessments of all impacted areas declared for disaster. These assessments are descriptive in nature, describing the qualitative and quantitative data related to the Area of Interest (AOI).  Sources of information are derived from federal, state, tribal, territorial, local, private sector, and non-profit sources.  The assessments help determine where recovery centers should be located and where additional outreach is required in socially vulnerable areas to best share disaster loan information with disaster survivors. The assessments inform the after-action report following the end of a disaster declaration.

Deliverables under this task include but are not limited to the following and will be identified further at the task order level.

1. Data collection of qualitative and quantitative data elements
2. Data analysis, may include but is not limited to: Statistical analysis, Econometric analysis, GIS development and subsequent spatial analysis, and Analysis
