NBHA-26-138

The New Bedford Housing Authority is seeking qualified accounting firms to provide technical accounting and financial reporting services for a range of federally and state-funded housing programs, including Capital Fund Grants, Housing Choice Vouchers, Low-Income Public Housing, Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency Program, Section 8 Multi-Family Housing Assistance, and Mixed-Finance developments. The contract will span a three-year period and requires full compliance with federal regulations such as 2 CFR Part 200 §§ 200.317–200.326 and HUD’s Financial Management Handbook 7460.8 REV2, as well as Massachusetts procurement law M.G.L. c.30B §6. Contractors must also adhere to Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, which mandates opportunities for low-income residents and businesses in the procurement and workforce. Proposals must be submitted in two physically sealed envelopes—one for the Price Proposal and one for the Non-Price Proposal—labeled with the solicitation number NBHA-26-138 and delivered by 2:00 p.m. on August 4, 2026, to the NBHA office at 128 Union Street, 4th Floor, New Bedford, MA 02740. Electronic submissions are not accepted, and no page limits or formatting specifications beyond labeling are provided. The award will be made based on the most advantageous proposal, considering both technical merit and pricing in a trade-off process, though specific evaluation factors, weights, and criteria are not detailed. The contracting officer’s point of contact is Kevin Rego of the Procurement Agent’s Office, and all payment and administrative functions will be managed through NBHA’s offices at the same address. While the contract value is not disclosed, performance will be assessed against federal and state compliance standards, and the successful firm must be a licensed accounting entity capable of supporting the complex financial reporting needs of HUD and state housing initiatives.
