MFH Pilot Inspection Program

The Multifamily Asset Management Division of USDA's Rural Housing Service seeks an experienced vendor to design a physical inspection pilot program to test a new multifamily housing inspection protocol based on industry standards used by Fannie Mae. The selected vendor must provide a plan outlining the purpose, goals, objectives and scope of the pilot demonstration project; establish success criteria; recommend an acquisition strategy and timeframe; define an evaluation strategy; and establish dispute resolution rules. Responses to the request for information are due by July 2, 2021 and must not exceed 10 pages.

The opportunity is set aside for total small businesses. The pilot inspections will evaluate properties currently under the agency's Section 515 Rural Rental Housing and Section 514/516 Farm Labor Housing programs. No incumbent is mentioned. The notice does not provide award values or quantities but seeks a proof of concept for transitioning the agency's inspection process.
