In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on Western North Carolina, the state faces the need for reconstruction and recovery efforts. Contractors and service providers have a unique opportunity to contribute to the rebuilding process through potential state-funded contracts.
Becoming an NC State Government Vendor for Hurricane Helene Response
The SBTDC and NC Military Business Center have developed a brief guide to Becoming an NC State Government Vendor for Hurricane Helene Response. It includes a list of resources from the state’s procurement system (eProcurement) compiled to assist organizations in navigating the state contracting process. Whether you’re looking to provide emergency services, infrastructure repair, or community rebuilding support, this list from the eProcurement website will guide you through the necessary steps to become involved in the recovery process. It also includes information on Federal government requirements for disaster recovery contracting.
HUB Office Solicitations Opportunity Dashboard
The HUB Office Solicitations Opportunity Dashboard includes all eVP solicitations plus additional opportunities submitted by organizations that do not use eVP, such as some local governments and private companies. Opportunities can be filtered in a number of different ways (location, organization, due date, type of work) including if a posting is disaster-related. There is a filter for opportunities identified as specific to Hurricane Helene.
NC Department of Transportation (DOT) Survey
The NC DOT needs vendors that can clear debris, provide facility support services, furnish necessary supplies and much more. Please complete this Contractor Resource Survey for Divisions 11-14 to help establish a database of resources to share with the Divisions as they transition from emergency response assessment into a mode of repair and reconstruction.
The SBTDC’s Government Contracting Assistance team prepared a detailed webinar on “Contracting for Disaster Recovery – Hurricane Helene”. View the presentation slides.
