The Federal Emergency Management Agency intends to award a sole-source contract to a business unit of Airbus Group‘s defense and space segment to help install the FEMA’s emergency notification system.
FEMA said Friday in a FedBizOpps notice it will ask Airbus DS Communications to supply dialogic cards and cables for the company-built VESTA Communicator platform.
The contractor will not modify any existing VESTA Communicator platform or FEMA configuration settings such as user accounts or passwords, according to the notice.
VESTA Communicator is designed to provide list-based notification to help mobilize personnel, response teams, commanders, volunteers and other resources based on situational needs, certifications, skills and schedules.
