That's a lot of food. Seems the Government has been doing a lot of prepping lately.

Noticed that it the specifications were also food Nazi PC; lo calorie, no trans fats, lo fat, lo sodium, vegetarian, etc. And at 2 meals/day.

The last thing disaster survivors need is diet food. What they need is well-rounded hi calorie, hi fat, trans fat, meals which also have a good slug of salt and sugar in it.

I guess the butt-heads are working overtime to kill the country.

Note that it’s healthy (low fat/low salt) and in environmentally friendly packaging. Do you think the survivors would be concerned with packaging/fat/salt?

Get a life DHS!

I have been watching the patterns of movement on this fault for awhile now. Does the Gov’t know something we don’t?

They’re also planning for 10 days... not a very long time, especially for some who are used to having their kids fed 2-3 meals a day etc.

Wow. Two of my consulting clients belong to the Zetas, a new-age group who are predicting a massive disaster in the New Madrid Fault Line. According to them, this quake will cause the Mississippi River to widen to 100 miles and cause utter devastation in a huge portion of the country. It’s kind of unsettling that DHS considers that same area as having a high enough probability of a quake to order these provisions.

The National Guard was training for the New Madrid fault last year. Maybe they are taking this warning seriously.

RFI = Request for Information

RFQ = Request for Quote (price)

When you see a RFQ go out then you know that some serious plans have been set in motion. When the "Quotes" (bids) come in then the decisions are made and the money get disbursed and starts moving to accounts for purchase.
This is just in the "talk-talk" stage now.

So this is an RFI (Request For information...??)

The are looking for a supplier for what amounts to 14 Million servings of a 1200 calorie civilian MRI (Meal, Ready to Eat).

Do I read that correctly?

Probably not a bad idea for relieving a major civilian refugee camp, at least for some period of time. If you can drop supplies in to an established camp in case of a major disaster, so much the better, at least for those who have no other option besides that refugee camp.

This kind of knowledge is what drives the so-called “preppers” who have been building a base of self sufficiency for a while. Even a home garden is a good step toward providing some of your own food, and the knowledge that civilian MREs are what probably face you if you have no other choice but to evacuate you and your family ought to be enough to convince you to prepare to stand alone, at least for a reasonable period of time.

OBTW, one of the benchmark items I have watched for some time is the price of a 50 pound bag of long grain white rice, US grown in either Texas or Louisiana. Through last Fall the price of that 50 pound bag was stable at around $16.00. Last week that same bag is selling for over $20; a 25% price increase in just one year. Anyone who says there is no inflation is not well informed...plan accordingly.

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.

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

They're not Chinese imports, are they?

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.

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.
