Resource Centers

The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) solicitation numbered CHFA 251 for Resource Centers services. The procurement seeks qualified organizations located within Connecticut that possess a minimum of 10 years of experience operating customer-facing resource centers for federally or state-funded housing assistance programs. Potential respondents must submit their electronic qualifications by June 9, 2022, at 4:00 PM EDT, with the solicitation period running from May 9, 2022, through the submission deadline. While specific deliverables are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the core objective appears to be establishing resource centers that can provide customer-facing support for housing assistance programs. The RFQ instructs interested organizations to review the complete scope of services on CHFA's website at www.chfa.org. Submission requirements include demonstrating organizational experience, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board Destination and payment terms to be vendor-specified.

The solicitation appears to be an open competition with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The RFQ does not specify a budget range, estimated contract value, or potential contract duration. CHFA explicitly identifies itself as an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, indicating a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. The opportunity is open to all vendors meeting the core qualification of having a Connecticut office and 10+ years of experience in housing assistance resource center operations. No details are provided about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The documents suggest that CHFA is seeking to establish a pool of qualified resource center providers but does not indicate the number of organizations that will be selected or the specific scope of services they will be expected to deliver.
