FALLS CHURCH, Va. - (Business Wire) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a contract to Partnership for Temporary Housing, LLC (PaTH) to provide temporary housing and support for shelter operations for disaster victims. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity Individual Assistance-Technical Assistance Contract III (IA-TAC III), has a potential value of $375 million over the one-year base period and four one-year option periods. PaTH is a limited liability corporation formed by DynCorp International LLC, Dewberry, and Parsons Corporation.
