TSP Onboarding Registration

2025 FEMA STOS Program

ALL TSP applicants (new and returning) must have an active SAM registration before FEMA will process any onboarding materials. Registration for SAM is FREE and if you are interested in applying for the 2025 FEMA STOS Program year, we recommend starting your registration today.

All TSP applicants must submit a TSP Registration form. For new TSP applicants FEMA requires both a TSP Registration Form AND an LSCMS Access Control Forms (both required for onboarding).

For those of you new to the FEMA STOS Program, you may be wondering what exactly it is. “FEMA STOS” is short for FEMA Standard Tender of Service which is the guiding document that governs the FEMA Tender of Service Program. So for short, we refer to the FEMA Tender of Service Program as the “FEMA STOS Program.”

ONBOARDING TIPS

Check out the program website. Navigate to “Instructions for TSPs.” Here you can find step by step instructions about the onboarding program.

Check your status in the System for Award Management (SAM) ASAP (and register if needed) if you are interested in participating in the 2025 FEMA STOS Program Year. For new registrations in the System for Award Management, the process takes at least 15 days. You must have an active registration in the SAM before even beginning the rest of the onboarding process. Remember, registration in the SAM is FREE.

The form to request LSCMS accounts has changed! Now called the LSCMS-C Access Control Form, we only need applicants to fill out the “Requestor Information” and “Requestor Signature” sections. Remember, all TSP applicants need at least one LSCMS account user, but are welcome to have more.

We’ve added a form called the TSP Registration Form. With this, FEMA will collect critical information like the TSP’s preferred bid email and bid phone number. FEMA only needs one copy of this form per TSP.
