HUD Lead-Based Paint Evaluation Services 2015-2018

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) established the Lead-Based Paint Evaluation Services 2015-2018 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support lead-based paint assessment and remediation efforts for HUD-owned single-family properties constructed prior to 1978 and eligible for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) guaranteed mortgages. The contract vehicle enables HUD to efficiently procure specialized lead-based paint evaluation services, which include comprehensive assessments such as visual inspections, lead-based paint testing, stabilization planning, and clearance examinations across multiple geographic regions. These services are critical for identifying and mitigating potential lead-based paint hazards in residential properties to ensure housing safety and compliance with environmental health standards.

The Master IDIQ was awarded to multiple prime contractors, with three key firms consistently receiving task orders: Inspection Experts Inc. (a women-owned small business), Ruiz-Tidewater JV LLC (a minority and veteran-owned business), and Summit Construction & Environmental Services LLC. Task orders typically ranged from approximately $11,000 to $835,912, with performance periods generally spanning one year and focusing on specific HUD Housing Ownership Center (HOC) regions including Atlanta, Denver, Santa Ana, and Philadelphia. While most task orders did not have specific set-aside designations, a few were designated as Competitive 8(a) awards. The contract vehicle facilitated targeted lead-based paint evaluation services across diverse geographic locations, enabling HUD to systematically assess and address potential lead hazards in its residential housing inventory through flexible, competitively awarded task orders.
