Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for DHUD Rent Comparability Studies - MFH Regions: Midwest

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, through the Chicago Operations Branch, established four Blanket Purchase Agreements to provide Rent Comparability Study and Post-Rehabilitation Study services for the Multifamily Housing Program Office in the Midwest Region. This total small business set-aside contract covers property appraisal services across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The primary objective is to establish market rents for HUD-assisted housing projects, specifically focusing on the analysis of Section 8 properties in accordance with the Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook and HUD rules. The scope of work requires the use of certified appraisers to prepare detailed RCS reports and implement quality control plans. The contract structure includes pricing schedules for up to five years, with costs differentiated by the number of unit types and whether the study evaluates the property in its current condition or post-rehabilitation. Managed under solicitation 86614124Q00005, the agreement ensures that HUD has access to professional appraisal services to support the renewal of project-based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment contracts.
