EMERGENCY CONTRACTS
 During Emergency situations, getting contracts in place
to assist in the recovery is time critical.
 Normal contracting procedures will not work.
 The Corps utilizes existing POCA contracts at the local
level, and Headquarters utilizes the Advance Contracts
Initiatives (Multi-year contracts).
 Stafford Act includes a “local preference” provision which
requires preference must be given when feasible and
practical to local firms. ( Ex. During the 2011 Alabama
Housing Mission the contract requirements included the
use of In-State 8A Contractors )
