RFA-25-190-WAP-Assistance Program

The Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) has issued a Request for Application (RFA) for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) to procure energy conservation, accessibility renovation, and home repair services across a 13-county region in Texas. The procurement targets services for low-income veterans, surviving spouses, and individuals with disabilities, with contractors required to perform comprehensive home modifications and energy efficiency improvements. Qualified contractors must possess a Texas license, demonstrate at least three years of experience in energy conservation measures, hold Lead Safety Certification, and maintain appropriate tools and equipment. The contract period runs from May 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with responses due by December 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM. Contractors will be evaluated based on their technical capabilities, experience, licensing credentials, and ability to deliver specialized home improvement services that enhance living conditions for vulnerable populations.

Funding for this opportunity derives from multiple sources, including the U.S. Department of Energy, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Amy Young Barrier Removal Program, Texas Veteran's Commission, and Texas Department of Health and Human Services. The maximum funding per project varies, with $12,000 allocated for WAP and $20,000 available for Amy Young Barrier Removal and Homes for Texas Heroes programs. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the program inherently prioritizes services for disabled veterans and low-income individuals. The RFA suggests potential for multiple contract awards, indicating that several contractors might be selected to fulfill the comprehensive service requirements across the designated geographic region. The procurement appears designed to support community infrastructure improvements while providing economic opportunities for qualified contractors with specialized expertise in home modification and energy conservation.
