Audit and Tax Services

The Housing Authority of the City of Camden is soliciting proposals for Audit and Tax Services under solicitation number 26-13, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. This procurement is for professional services to be performed in Camden, New Jersey, and is issued under NAICS code 541211. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the Housing Agency Marketplace eProcurement system; hardcopies, fax, or email submissions are not accepted. Vendors are required to comply with a comprehensive list of attachments, including certifications for affirmative action, equal opportunity, non-collusion, stockholder disclosure, W9, insurance evidence, HUD certification forms, and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Proposals must also include a detailed fee proposal, business registration documentation, and signed affidavits in ink. The contract requires adherence to state and federal regulations such as N.J.A.C. 17:27 on affirmative action, N.J.A.C. 8:59-5.1 on chemical labeling and MSDS requirements, Davis-Bacon or HUD prevailing wage rules, and record retention for five years after final payment. Contractors must begin work within ten days of purchase order issuance and may be required to perform after-hours work without additional cost. Organizational conflicts of interest must be disclosed, and any failure to do so may result in contract termination. Subcontracting or assignment of the contract is prohibited without prior written consent. The evaluation of proposals will be based on a trade-off approach totaling 100 points, with technical criteria accounting for 50% (including methodology, experience in housing authority audits, and knowledge of HUD regulations), management criteria for 40% (including business management, staff qualifications, and firm size), and cost for only 10% (based solely on the fee proposal). The award will not be based on the lowest price technically acceptable but on the most advantageous offer considering quality and cost. The government reserves the right to reject all proposals or use an existing state contract. Payment will be made upon submission of detailed line-item invoices, though the payment office and electronic invoicing system are not specified. The Executive Director of HACC serves as the primary point of contact for contract administration, though no formal Contracting Officer or COR is named. Contractors must ensure compliance with all federal financial reporting standards including Uniform Guidance and OMB A-133, and no contract value estimate is provided. Final
