About this file

This document is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. B25002 issued by HomeFront, a Montana-based organization, for On-call Carpet Cleaning Services involving product and labor. The IFB focuses on creating a vendor pool for carpet cleaning services to support HomeFront's units and additional properties throughout Billings, Montana.

The document notably highlights significant regulatory changes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding Section 3 requirements. Specifically, HUD has discontinued previous economic opportunity guidelines and implemented new regulations under multiple CFR sections, which eliminate the ability for firms to request Section 3 Business Preference when submitting bids. The agency indicates it will advise firms of any future changes to these requirements, signaling an ongoing commitment to transparency in the procurement process.

INVITATION FOR BIDS (IFB) No. B25002, On-call Carpet Cleaning Services (Product/Labor) Section 3 Business Preference Explanation (IFB Attachment D)

Be aware that the Agency previously conducted IFB’s that required bidders and contractors to comply with the requirements of 24 CFR §135, Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons (a.k.a., Section 3).

However, earlier this year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) discontinued these former requirements and implemented the requirements of 24 CFR §5, 14, 75, 91, 92, 93, 135, 266, 570, 574, 576, 578, 905, 964, 983,and 1000, entitled Enhancing and Streamlining the implementation of Section 3 Requirements for Creating Economic Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons and Eligible Businesses.

Accordingly, these new Section 3 regulations do not provide for firms to request a Section 3 Business Preference when the firm submits a bid. The Agency will advise all firms if these requirements change.
