About this opportunity
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded a sole-source bridge contract to Millsapps, Ballinger & Associates for IT operations and maintenance support of the National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) solution under a limited-source justification on May 21, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source) and 41 USC 3304(a)(1), grounded in the fact that MB&A is the sole developer and manufacturer of the ExAM4 Inspections application, the proprietary software built on the Salesforce platform that supports NSPIRE. Market research confirmed no alternative source can update and maintain this software or meet HUD's technical requirements and architectural alignment. The bridge contract is mission-critical to prevent service interruption while HUD completes a competitive recompete for a follow-on contract and to maintain continuous operations supporting Housing Choice Voucher inspections and end-to-end inspection cycles integrated with legacy analytics systems.
The period of performance is 6 months (May 23, 2026 through November 22, 2026) plus two optional 3-month extension periods (November 23, 2026 through May 22, 2027). The contract is structured as Firm Fixed Price. Work is performed under IT funding and classified as mission-critical.
