US Federal Contractor Registration: FEMA Funds Sediment Removal in Santa Fe County, New Mexico
Washington D.C. (PRWEB) February 04, 2015 -- According to a Federal Emergency Management Agency press release on January 30th, 2015, FEMA has awarded nearly $2.4 million in relief funds for the removal of sediment in Santa Fe County, New Mexico. FEMA stated back in September 2013, there were heavy floods in the various rivers in central New Mexico. This caused sediment to deposit in the Nambe Reservoir. These reservoirs provide public water for municipal and irrigation use in the Pojoaque Valley Irrigation District. FEMA is looking for registered government contractors to assist the state of New Mexico with the removal of this sediment contaminating the district’s water supply. All contractors must be registered prior to inquiring about assistance.
Many contractors don’t even think about their government registration until an opportunity has presented itself. With a disaster response contract from FEMA, neglecting registration can spell almost certain failure. Immediately after a disaster or a FEMA notice, there is a flood of contractors looking for work. If a business is unprepared due to a lapsed registration, it is unlikely the noncompliant business will be awarded a contract. Even if a business is awarded a contract, FEMA will be unable to pay that business until their System for Award Managemen t (SAM) registration and FEMA registration is completed.
In fact, there are even perks to completing the registration ahead of time. Often, no-bid contracts are awarded by contracting officers who simply call one or two businesses who have profiles in Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS). If the businesses already have their registration taken care of, they could receive a contract on the spot. If not, the contracting officer is likely to just call the next number on their list. Businesses will miss their opportunity if they are not prepared for federal work at all times.
