GSA’s Disaster Purchasing Program allows state and local governments to buy supplies and services directly from all GSA Schedule Vendors, to facilitate disaster preparation, response, or major disaster recovery. Purchases made in support of recovery must be in response to a Stafford Act Presidential declaration. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) manages the list of declared disasters.
