Idaho State Office

The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Idaho State Office is a sub-agency under USDA that administers rural housing loans and related financial services in Idaho. The office transacts through contracts to support loan servicing, appraisal management, and administrative operations in its lending portfolio.

Contract activity at the office is minimal and declining. The office awarded 598 contracts cumulatively since February 2016, with combined potential value of $703 thousand and $699 thousand obligated. Recent volume has contracted sharply: 119 awards in 2018, 83 in 2019, 10 in 2020, 12 in 2021, and only 1 award in 2024, with no recorded awards between 2021 and 2024. The most recent award closed on December 13, 2024.

Competition is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top three vendors by award count—Francotyp-Postalia Inc., Hartman Appraisal & Investments LLC, and AAA Appraisal Management Company LLC—each hold a single award and collectively account for 100 percent of recent awards. By potential value, the same three vendors hold the top positions with values ranging from $450 to $595 thousand, representing just 1 percent of combined potential value across the portfolio window. The office has awarded contracts to 31 distinct vendors across its portfolio history, indicating a highly dispersed contractor base with no dominant prime.

Set-asides are minimal. Ninety-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; 2 percent are designated as Total Small Business.

The office's transaction profile—small dollar values, appraisal and administrative services, and minimal recent activity—reflects the structure of a specialized loan-servicing operation rather than a competitive procurement function. No recent contract opportunities are recorded for this office.
