Assist the Housing & Recreational Vehicle Director of the Commission identify qualified candidates for appointment as a modular housing, manufactured housing, and/or recreational vehicle plan reviewer/inspector

The Nebraska Public Service Commission has issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ 25-1) seeking independent contractors to serve as plan reviewers and inspectors for modular housing, manufactured housing, and recreational vehicles. The primary objective is to identify qualified candidates for appointment to review and inspect housing and vehicle plans, conduct factory and retail outlet inspections, and ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. Respondents must submit a resume or statement of qualifications demonstrating experience in housing or recreational vehicle design, inspection, construction, or review, along with copies of relevant licenses, certifications, or professional credentials. Key dates for this procurement include a deadline for written questions on December 1, 2025, RFQ opening on January 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time, and a closing date of April 3, 2026 at 5:00 PM Central Time. Selected independent contractors will work under the direction of the Housing & Recreational Vehicle Director, performing plan reviews and inspections for recreational vehicles, modular housing, and manufactured housing in accordance with Nebraska state regulations and federal standards, including HUD's Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The Commission is explicitly seeking to expand its pool of inspectors, noting that many current experienced inspectors are nearing retirement. While no specific budget range is provided in the documentation, the opportunity appears to be for independent contractor positions rather than a fixed-value contract. The procurement is open to individuals with relevant professional experience in housing or recreational vehicle industries, with a focus on those possessing appropriate licenses, certifications, and technical expertise in plan review and inspection. Candidates will be evaluated based on their professional qualifications, technical knowledge, and ability to perform detailed inspections and plan reviews in compliance with state and federal housing and recreational vehicle standards.
