Bid Disaster-Related Contracts

Attention Procurement Professionals

Please see the following message from Norma Houston, UNC School of Government:

“For those of you facing the threat of Florence and anticipating having to contract for purchases, services, repairs, etc., please remember that when you bid disaster-related contracts for which you plan to seek FEMA reimbursement, you must satisfy federal (UG) M/WBE outreach requirements for ALL contracts costing $10,000 or more (and I mean ALL contracts – purchase, service, construction, repair, A/E services, etc.). 

An easy way to satisfy this requirement is to post your bid solicitation on the NC HUB office website at the link below:

https://ncadmin.nc.gov/businesses/historically-underutilized-businesses…

 If you have any questions about the HUB website, please contact John Guenther with the NC HUB office at john.guenther@doa.nc.gov. 

I know it may seem tedious to worry about bidding procedures in the face of the storm but taking a few brief minutes to post your bid solicitations on the HUB website could mean the difference between getting reimbursed or not.”
