National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) inspection program.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO), intends to solicit contractor support for Development Modernization Enhancement (DME) work on the National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) inspection program, with a sources sought notice due by July 10, 2026. This is a market research initiative; no formal solicitation currently exists.

HUD seeks to stabilize, modernize, and operationally sustain NSPIRE by replacing fragmented manual processes with a scalable, secure digital ecosystem. The NSPIRE NextGen System must deliver enhancements across five primary modules: Inspector Mobile Application, Field Office Application, Scheduling Application, Vendor Management Application, and Quality Control Application. The solution must be a FedRAMP-authorized moderate impact level, cloud-based platform supporting 500+ concurrent inspectors with 99.9% system uptime and 95% uptime for portal access, achieving zero data loss and 100% functionality replication from legacy systems. All deliverables must comply with Section 508 accessibility requirements.

Contractor personnel must maintain SOC 2 Type II certifications, Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, and SAFe Scrum Master certification throughout the contract period. Performance is conducted at the contractor's facilities. The anticipated period of performance is one 12-month base period plus four optional 12-month periods, with core system delivery within nine months of award.

Applicable NAICS code is 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) with a size standard of $34 million. No set-aside is contemplated. Responses to the sources sought notice must be submitted via email to Dwayne Gist (dwayne.e.gist@hud.gov) no later than Friday, July 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST, limited to ten pages.
