SECTION C - DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT

1.1. Introduction:

This contract will allow the government to enter a contract with a subscription service agent that will purchase local housing market data for use by the HUD Field Economist staff. HUD will provide the subscription service company with a list of very specific housing-related data subscriptions. The vendor’s phone number, e-mail address and actual address with a contact person, will be provided. Subscriptions will be sent to various HUD field offices, as noted in the list of subscriptions that is attached.

1.2 Background:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) insures billions in multifamily rental projects each year. In doing so, it evaluates the market absorption potential for these projects and how they relate to existing projects in the market. HUD has two objectives. One is to avoid financing projects in markets where it is anticipated there will be an excess supply of rental units by the time the project is completed, thereby reducing the risk of default for the proposed project. The other is to avoid increasing vacancy levels above desired levels in the market to reduce the risk to financial viability of existing rental projects, some of whose mortgages HUD may have insured.

Most of HUD’s multifamily mortgage business is concentrated in metropolitan areas, especially large, fast-growing areas. Detailed information on the location, type, rents, and vacancy rates of existing and newly developed multifamily rental projects is highly valuable in estimating the impacts and potential absorption of rental projects applying for HUD mortgage insurance or subsidy assistance. A limited amount of rental vacancy rate data is available from the Bureau of the Census. This information, generally updated to the previous quarter or month, is collected in greater detail for multifamily rental projects by a limited number of firms that sell it to interested parties in a standardized format. HUD is interested in purchasing such data to assist it in carrying out its market analysis functions.

1.3 Constraints:

The services identified in this PWS will adhere to the rules, regulations, laws, standards, and conventions identified by HUD as well as within the Federal Government.

1.4 Description of Services

The vendor’s phone number, e-mail address and actual address with a contact person, will be provided. Subscriptions will be sent to various HUD field offices, as noted in the list of subscriptions that is attached. The subscription agent contractor shall be responsible for all monitoring, tracking, renewing, placing orders for multiple subscriptions and completing payment for each HUD subscription as required.
