General Information

1. General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Army Privatized and Government-Owned Military Housing Inspection Services. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein.

Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Privatized Family Housing, Privatized Unaccompanied Housing, Government-Controlled/Owned Family, and Leased Housing as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as Government-furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: The Army’s portfolio includes Privatized Family Housing, Privatized Unaccompanied Housing, Government-Controlled/Owned Family, and Leased Housing located both in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The Army seeks to improve the quality of life for residents (i.e.

Soldiers, Family members and other tenants) through the use of private sector resources, market-based incentives, and Government resources to support the Government-owned and leased inventory. The Army Housing Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) is an innovative program developed and managed under the oversight and direction of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of The Army (Installations, Energy, and Environment) (OASA (IE&E)) on behalf of the Secretary of the Army. The Government-owned family and leasing housing programs are funded and managed by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff G-9.

1.2.1. The services included in this contract are required in accordance with the National

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of Fiscal Year 2021. The NDAA, Section 2818(b) of 10 USC 2871, expanded the code of basic standards for privatized military housing and hazard and habitability inspection and assessment requirement to Government- Owned and Government-Controlled military family housing. The Army’s position in Government-controlled includes Government-leased housing inside and outside the United States (CONUS and OCONUS). The NDAA expanded the housing inspection and assessment plan to include Government-owned and controlled military family housing located inside and outside of the United States and directs commencement of inspections and assessments of such housing immediately. Inspections are needed to identify issues and ensure compliance with the applicable housing codes. Inspections shall be performed by qualified home inspector, as defined in paragraph 5.2.

1.2.2. The inspections will be based on applicable standards in the 2021 International Property

The privatized housing units are owned by the RCI companies and the Government housing is owned by the Army. The contractor shall coordinate with the applicable USAG Housing Manager, Government representative, and the RCI company to facilitate accessibility to 100% of the housing inventory.

1.3. Objectives: The contractor shall conduct 100% physical home inspections at the locations identified in PWS Attachment 2.

The contractor shall not charge fee for travel, only applicable burdens such as G&A and M&H shall be applied to travel costs.
