FDEM issues requests for proposals, companies bid and are evaluated, and the state announces the winners. Earlier this summary, for example, FDEM issued an RFP for companies to provide emergency support personnel for disasters.

FDEM recently announced the companies selected to receive contracts for that work.

A document from the State of Florida, Division of Emergency Management titled “Notice of Intent to Award.” It references Request for Proposal (RFP) No. RFP-DEM-24-25-025, titled Emergency Support Personnel for Disasters.

Maybe these companies will be providing staffing services for disaster response after a hurricane. And maybe they will be providing staffing services for concentration camps.

Now they have the contracts, and my guess is that they won't walk away from the money—regardless of what they're asked to do. But there is no excuse for complicity. None.
