This is a Q&A Addendum #3 issued by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for Request for Offer 332-RFO26-1007 regarding a Multifamily Management System solicitation. The addendum addresses overlooked questions from potential proposers concerning the anticipated budget, previous related solicitations, and lessons learned from prior procurement efforts. TDHCA confirmed that no budget amount is disclosed for this procurement and encouraged all respondents to submit their best pricing. The agency clarified that a previous similar RFO (332-SOW24-1002) released in December 2023 did result in an award through a DIR contract. Proposers with questions regarding specific vendor details or current fees related to the previous procurement are directed to submit open records requests to open.records@tdhca.texas.gov. The proposals are due June 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an anticipated award date of July 15, 2026.

Pricing for this solicitation is structured on a firm fixed-price basis for all required implementation and deliverable services, with separate annual operating cost pricing for option years spanning FY 2028 through FY 2031. These annual costs will cover software licensing, hosting, maintenance, and support services. The period of performance extends from FY 2026 through FY 2027, with Year 1 maintenance and support extending through August 31, 2027. TDHCA reserves the right to negotiate with multiple top-ranked respondents and may award to multiple vendors. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience implementing solutions for Housing Finance Agencies or comparable public-sector housing organizations and must provide references for at least three successfully completed implementations within the past five years. A VetHUB Subcontracting Plan with a 5% subcontracting goal for "other services" is required as a condition of responsiveness.
