About this file

This document is an Attachment D for Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. B24002 issued by HomeFront in Montana, specifically addressing Section 3 Business Preference regulations for On Call Remediation & Abatement Services. The IFB aims to establish a pool of contractors for various work phases across properties owned by the agency, with the goal of creating a comprehensive service contract for remediation and abatement services.

The document highlights significant regulatory changes implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which discontinued previous Section 3 requirements and replaced them with new regulations under multiple CFR sections. The new regulations eliminate the ability for firms to request Section 3 Business Preference when submitting bids, representing a substantial shift in how economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons are structured. HomeFront has committed to advising all firms of any future changes to these requirements, maintaining transparency in the procurement process.

INVITATION FOR BIDS (IFB) No. B24002, On Call Remediation & Abatement Services 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.
