Crucially, any inclusion of pricing or fee estimates in the initial submission will result in immediate disqualification, as the commission will negotiate a fixed fee only with the highest-ranked firm. Applicants must submit a qualifications package including a Letter of Interest, SF 330 or corporate resume, key personnel resumes, and three professional references. Mandatory documentation includes HUD Forms 5369-B, 5369-C, 5370-C, 2992, and SF-LLL. Submissions were due by November 13, 2026. Although the solicitation is marked as cancelled, the requirements emphasized strict compliance with HUD certifications, EPA guidelines for recovered materials on purchases over 10,000 dollars, and full disclosure of any organizational conflicts of interest.
