The RFP sets a goal of 25 percent of contract value awarded to Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs), and Section 3 requirements mandate good faith efforts to provide training and employment to lower-income residents of the Section 3 area and to award contracts to Section 3 business concerns.

Services include financial audits under Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, tax return preparation (IRS Forms 990, 1065, or 1120), compliance auditing per Title 2-200, and HUD REAC submissions for applicable entities. The contractor must maintain audit working papers for three years and comply with HUD regulations, including energy efficiency, equal employment opportunity, and debarment requirements. Draft audit reports and tax returns are due February 15 of the following year, and final HUD REAC submissions are due March 31.

The contract term is three years with an option to renew for two additional years. Payment occurs only upon receipt of final audit reports and tax returns, and partial payments are not authorized. Fieldwork workspace is provided at DHA's central office at 3939 North Hampton Road, Dallas, Texas.
