How to do Business with FEMA
Vendors should do the following: 
1. Register with Central Contractor Registration (CCR). 
CCR is considered the primary market research tool for Contracting Officers. If you are not registered with CCR, please visit www.ccr.gov. Should you have any questions about the CCR registration process, please contact the Federal Service Desk at 866-606-8220. 
2. Request a FEMA Vendor Profile from the Industry Liaison Support Center (ILSC) at FEMA-Industry@dhs.gov. 
Once you have completed the FEMA Vendor Profile, please email the document to the ILSC for processing. FEMA uses the Vendor Profile as supplemental market research and during disasters, forwards the information to the appropriate Contracting Officer(s) for the declared disaster areas, when applicable.
3. Monitor FedBizOpps.
Upon completing your CCR registration and FEMA Vendor Profile, search www.fbo.gov for federal procurement opportunities.

One of the primary points of market research for Contracting Officers is CCR. The Vendor Profile is a secondary tool that provides your company’s information to FEMA program offices and acquisition professionals. Please note, the Vendor Profile serves as supplemental market research for the Contracting Officer. This correspondence does not promise, commit, or imply that a contract will be awarded.
