RFP- Consulting Services to Advise on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use

The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda is requesting proposals for consulting services to advise senior management on potential artificial intelligence use across the agency's operations, with proposals due August 18, 2026.

AHA is a 50-person California government agency that administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program, develops and operates affordable housing, and delivers social services alongside financial, administrative, and human resources functions. The agency holds and manages substantial volumes of client personally identifiable information and confidential data. AHA currently maintains a highly restrictive AI use policy with minimal workplace AI adoption and is seeking consultant guidance on expanding AI deployment while preserving information security and compliance posture.

The scope encompasses strategic advisory services across all operational areas — program administration, housing management, social services delivery, financial and administrative operations, and human resources functions. Consultants must assess current AI restrictions, identify deployment opportunities aligned with agency mission and risk tolerance, and recommend implementation pathways that safeguard sensitive client data and maintain regulatory compliance. No contract value, term length, or evaluation criteria are specified in the solicitation notice.
