The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intends to award a single competitive contract for subscription agent services. The requirement is for a contractor to order, manage and provide access to HUD for online and hard copy subscriptions as identified in the list contained herein.

The competitive requirement will be made under NAICS code 561110.

The subscription agent services order will consist of a 12-month base year. According to preliminary market research conducted, the listed subscriptions below are the sole providers of subscriptions that contain the most complete data and tools for analyzing the multi-family housing market nationwide. These data and research products will be used by HUD's field economists in the Economic and Market Analysis Division in their ongoing studies of local housing market conditions by providing much needed market data, particularly relating to residential housing construction information.

These are unique online tools that allow the user access to various housing related data, pipeline analytics and pipeline residential data by geographic area throughout the country. The multi-family data included is at a level of coverage that provides a number of variables in many market areas for analysts to access and study. These subscriptions will allow HUD's field economists to access the data they need for specific geographic areas across the country when they need it. In addition to providing housing related pipeline data, the subscription also provides data analytics, pipeline residential data, and data by Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
