BPA CALL ORDER ALIGNS WITH THE EXCLUSION PROVIDED WITHIN EXECUTIVE ORDER 14222, ALERT 25-07 2(D), AS IT RELATES TO ONE OF THE DESIGNATED CATEGORIES: PUBLIC SAFETY IN SUPPORT OF DR4828-4834FL.

Value Assessment
Rating: fair
The contract value of $198,042 for a 517-day duration appears reasonable for specialized support. However, without specific deliverables, a direct pricing comparison is difficult.
Cost Per Unit: N/A
Competition Analysis
Competition Level: limited
The contract was competed under SAP (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) and awarded as a BPA Call Order. While not a sole-source award for the BPA itself, this specific call order appears to have limited competition, potentially impacting price discovery.
Taxpayer Impact: The use of limited competition may result in higher costs for taxpayers compared to a fully open and competitive process.
Public Impact
Public safety initiatives are critical, but the link to residential leasing needs clarification. Taxpayer funds are being utilized for disaster relief support. The specific nature of the 'public safety' support provided by a residential lessor is unclear.
Waste & Efficiency Indicators
Waste Risk Score: 50 / 10
Warning Flags
- Unclear link between service provider's NAICS code and service provided.
- Limited competition for this specific call order.
- Potential for cost overruns if scope is not well-defined.
Positive Signals
- Alignment with Executive Order 14222 demonstrates adherence to policy.
- Award supports critical public safety and disaster relief efforts.
Sector Analysis
The sector is primarily residential leasing (NAICS 531110), which is atypical for public safety support. Benchmarking spending in this specific niche for disaster relief is challenging due to its unique application.
Small Business Impact
The data indicates the awardee is PARLIAMENT LLC. There is no specific information provided regarding small business participation or subcontracting opportunities within this BPA Call Order.
Oversight & Accountability
The award is made under a BPA Call Order, suggesting some level of pre-existing oversight. However, the specific justification for limited competition and the clarity of deliverables warrant further scrutiny.

What specific public safety services does Parliament LLC provide under this contract, and how do they align with their NAICS code for residential leasing?
The contract aligns with Executive Order 14222 for public safety in support of disaster relief (DR4828-4834FL). However, the specific services Parliament LLC provides are not detailed. Their NAICS code (531110) indicates 'Lessors of Residential Buildings and Dwellings,' which does not directly suggest public safety services. This disconnect requires further clarification on how residential leasing expertise is being leveraged for disaster response.
What is the justification for limiting competition on this BPA Call Order, and what is the estimated cost savings or impact of this approach?
The justification for limited competition is not explicitly stated beyond the alignment with Executive Order 14222 and the specific disaster relief context. Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) were used, which often implies smaller dollar values or specific circumstances. Without a full competitive process, it's difficult to ascertain the precise impact on price discovery or potential cost savings for taxpayers.
How will the effectiveness of Parliament LLC's services be measured to ensure taxpayer value is achieved, especially given the unusual service-NAICS code pairing?
Effectiveness will likely be measured against the specific objectives outlined for DR4828-4834FL. Given the unusual pairing of a residential lessor NAICS code with public safety support, clear performance metrics and deliverables are crucial. FEMA will need to closely monitor the outcomes to ensure the services provided are directly contributing to disaster relief efforts and represent a prudent use of federal funds.
