Financial Audit Support Services

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General (HUD-OIG), Office of Audit (OA) requires the services of an independent public accounting firm (Contractor) to complete an audit of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) stand-alone financial statements, the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA/Ginnie Mae) stand-alone financial statements and HUD’s consolidated financial statements, for fiscal year 2024 (including the fiscal year 2023 comparatives) and up to four (4) subsequent option periods beginning with fiscal year 2025, in accordance with the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990, as amended (CFO Act).

This procurement will involve consolidation as combining the needs met by previous awards into a single award for all HUD Financial Audit services provides significant cost savings to the Government and allows HUD-OIG to perform their mission more efficiently.

This requirement will be a consolidation of two (2) current contracts for audits of FHA stand-alone financial statements and HUD’s consolidated financial statements as well as annual financial audits of the Government National Mortgage Association, Ginnie Mae.

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of HUD-OIG, plans to compete this requirement via full and open competition on GSA eBUY, to GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 541211. Consolidation of all HUD annual financial audit requirements into one solicitation for a single task order is necessary and justified for HUD-OIG (OA) to enhance performance and efficiency.

Pursuant to FAR 7.107-2, the Fiscal Service, Bureau Chief Procurement Officer (BCPO)/Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO) on behalf of the HUD-OIG determined, on 31 March 2023, that consolidation is necessary and justified. The benefits of consolidation of the proposed acquisition substantially exceed the benefits that would be derived from the alternative contracting approaches.

This Consolidation Determination and Findings notice is being published, in accordance with FAR 7.107-5(c)(1), to notify the public that the agency has determined a consolidation of contract requirements is necessary and justified. A copy of the determination will also be provided when the solicitation is released.
