IOC Disaster Relief Program
IOC’s Disaster Relief program ensures readiness to assist any country affected by natural or man-made catastrophes. IOC teams can quicky be mobilized and be on the ground to assess the situation and implement programs to extend budgets and increase productivity in the restoration process. IOC’s disaster relief efforts, combined with its creative procurement models, assist in repairing infrastructure, communications, power, and basic humanitarian necessities.
Ending Profiteering in Disaster Recovery
International Offset Corporation is dedicated to eliminating extravagant price mark-ups and profiteering by unscrupulous disaster contractors. Every year, natural disasters cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, affecting lives, businesses, and livelihoods. Communities are devastated, and governments must act swiftly to rescue and rebuild for their constituents.
Exploitation During Vulnerable Times
Due to the immense pressure on governments to react immediately to natural disasters, there is often significant waste and inefficiency. Governments strive to meet the needs of their constituents but are vulnerable to exploitation. Unscrupulous brokers and intermediaries take advantage of this vulnerability, driving up costs with excessive price mark-ups. Governments end up paying exorbitant prices, such as $3,700 for power generators that retail for $800, $666 for bathroom sinks that cost $260, $700 for doors worth $50, and $82 for smoke detectors available at local hardware stores for $7. These inflated costs, passed along by a succession of intermediary contractors, result in excessive profits at the expense of effective disaster response.
IOC: Advocates for Governments
International Offset Corporation steps in to put an end to these extravagant mark-ups and profiteering. IOC responds immediately to emergency situations worldwide, working as a strategic partner with governments. IOC shares the same goals as its government clients: to serve constituents and prevent price gouging.
Expert Negotiators for Efficient Disaster Relief and Actual Cash Savings
IOC has assembled a top-notch response team of expert negotiators to handle the urgent procurement and acquisition needs of governments during disasters. With IOC’s fast, high-intensity negotiation approach, emergency spending is directed towards removing debris, repairing structures, and rebuilding infrastructure, rather than being wasted on excessive overhead, paperwork, profit gouging, and steep mark-ups. Governments can save cash by taking advantage of IOC’s countertrade and procurement programs to deliver much needed goods and services through these emergency situations.
IOC Buying Power
IOC works with governments to identify serious disaster emergencies needs and leverage its extensive global logistical and business contacts to quickly deliver the needed goods and service to the affected areas. IOC quickly arranges for the delivery of essential items to disaster sites, such as food, water, generators, pumps, chainsaws, concrete, bulldozers, fencing, housing, and more. Using its buying power, IOC negotiates the best possible prices for these acquisitions, providing long-term, permanent solutions at costs often below those of temporary fixes.
