Key deliverables include unlimited consultation, at least two audit committee meetings per fiscal year, and final audit reports to be submitted by August 15 of each year, with audited financials required to be filed on the PARIS system by September 1st. Proposing firms must submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating firm qualifications, staff experience, independence statements, and a detailed audit approach.

The procurement encourages participation from New York State certified Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs) and HUD Section 3 Business Concerns. There is no service-disabled veteran-owned set-aside for this contract. The agency's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is approximately $808,000 in annual funding, which provides context for the potential contract value. The procurement will be located at 50 Clinton Street, Suite 504, Hempstead, NY 11550, within Nassau County.
