89 -- RFI for Pre-Packaged Commercial Meals

FBODaily.com ^ | 1/20/11

[Kartographer]

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) procures and stores pre-packaged commercial meals to support readiness capability for immediate distribution to disaster survivors routinely. The purpose of this Request for Information is to identify sources of supply for meals in support of disaster relief efforts based on a catastrophic disaster event within the New Madrid Fault System for a survivor population of 7M to be utilized for the sustainment of life during a 10-day period of operations.

"The last thing disaster survivors need is diet food."

Right on. If the people are in survival & search and rescue mode, they need good calories. If they don't know when they will eat again, they need many calories. They can always share a food unit if they are in hunker down mode.

Personally, I think it makes far more sense to use military MREs. They are geared to keep people healthy during high exertion periods.

Speaking of sources for supplies, just WHERE are these meals being produced?????

They're not Chinese imports, are they?

Can we find out who the RFI submitters are as alternative food suppliers for the prepper market?

What are the brand names of US grown rice?

I could not say for sure, I don’t keep that close of track. It’s the generic long grain white rice that my local supplier has carried for years, and it’s just one benchmark among many.

This goes back to 2006...so they must be a bit behind.

I though that was what leftover MREs were for...

Nuts keep very well, especially in can/freeze jars in the freezer.

They are very high in everything and good high calorie emergency food to add to survival rations.

Allergies aside, if you can eat them, they are a good investment, as they are a terrific convenience food.

I’ve got several jars of frozen nuts stored and replenish them as they get eaten.

Don’t forget to stock up on salt, too.

What’s their time line?

Not that I’d buy it necessarily, just curious.

My son's favorite quip after a tour in Iraq was Meals Rejected by Ethiopians.

Everything is supposed to end this year, and then begins the “Aftertime”. Actually, from what I understand, Zetas are aliens, and, I believe, they communicate through Nancy, their emissary. Their information is really specific, although a really big 8.9 earthquake was supposed to have happened in Japan, and it didn’t. When/if it does, it will begin a chain reaction that will spread to the United States, causing a super-big quake, the widening of the Mississippi, and more. This all has something to do with Planet X and the pole shifting.

There are quite a few processing plants that produce freeze-dried and dehydrated foods here in the U.S.

Veal if it widens to 100 miles. That would be one massive sink hole. My home town of st. Louis gone. Oh my!

I always wondered about Pelosi......

Well, if they’re prepared, it’s no skin off my back.

Why would DHS ID the NMF area if not for disinfo purposes? They’re phishin’ for something. Possibly finding out which MFG’s to put out of business.
