RFP Residential Unit Trade Make-Ready and Bundled Corrective Services

The Ohio Housing Finance Agency is requesting proposals to establish a qualified contractor roster for recurring trade services, make-ready work, occupied-unit corrective work, inspection-readiness corrections, and bundled partial-service offerings in Low-to-Moderate Income residential units under RFP26-R005, with proposals due October 19, 2026.

The scope encompasses a broad range of construction and maintenance trades required to prepare and maintain LMH residential units across OHFA-financed properties throughout Ohio. Contractors will be selected to provide services on an as-needed, recurring basis across multiple properties, with contract awards establishing a vendor roster system rather than fixed-price agreements. Compensation is structured on a time-and-materials or unit-based pricing model dependent on the specific services rendered.

Contractor selection is based on qualifications, experience with residential property work, responsiveness, and pricing competitiveness. The resulting contracts serve as standing agreements with indefinite duration subject to performance standards and OHFA's operational requirements. This approach allows OHFA to maintain flexibility in contractor utilization based on operational needs across its financed-property portfolio. The RFP is designed to support OHFA's mission to facilitate affordable housing initiatives throughout Ohio by ensuring rapid availability of qualified trade services for property preparation, maintenance, and corrective work.
