Summary of HUD 5369 Form for Bethlehem Housing Authority

This document is a HUD Form 5369 certification submitted by the Bethlehem Housing Authority in Pennsylvania. The filing addresses two distinct service procurements: paint procurement and grass cutting services. For the paint acquisition, the Housing Authority is soliciting bids through PennBid for multiple paint types including Interior Latex Eggshell, Interior Latex Semi-Gloss, Exterior Latex Gloss, and Exterior Alkyd Gloss in one-gallon and five-gallon quantities. Bids for paint are due by 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, with electronic opening following submission. The grass cutting services procurement will accept bids until 10:00 A.M. on February 13, 2026, with bids to be read aloud at the Bethlehem Housing Authority Central Service Facility located at 1411 Pembroke Road, Bethlehem, PA 18017. The paint contract period runs for one year from December 1, 2025, through November 30, 2026, with an optional renewal for an additional year contingent upon satisfactory performance. Both solicitations are conducted through the PennBid platform at https://pennbid.bonfirehub.com, where interested contractors may obtain specifications and bid forms at no cost.

The Housing Authority has established rigorous technical specifications for paint products, requiring bidders to submit comprehensive documentation verifying compliance with precise measurements for gloss levels, solids content, volatile organic compound (VOC) levels, and titanium dioxide concentration. Award will be made to the vendor offering the lowest total price across all line items. Potential bidders must complete multiple HUD-mandated certifications and documentation requirements, including a Statement of Bidder's Qualifications, Non-Collusive Affidavit, and certifications regarding business status and ownership. The solicitation encourages participation from small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, and women-owned businesses, though specific set-aside percentages are not stated. No specific budget range is disclosed; however, the solicitation indicates moderate volume procurement across multiple paint types. The Housing Authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informalities or irregularities in the bidding process.
