Section 3 Business Subcontracting Coordination

The contract requires the identification and active engagement of Section 3-certified businesses to fulfill subcontracting obligations tied to a federal housing or urban development project administered by the City of Griffin in Georgia. The contractor must ensure that at least 25 percent of the subcontracting work is awarded to businesses certified under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act, which prioritizes economic opportunities for low-income residents and minorities in areas receiving federal funding. Compliance with this threshold is mandatory and must be supported by thorough documentation of all outreach efforts, including communications, proposals received, and selection rationale, to demonstrate good faith efforts in sourcing qualified Section 3-certified subcontractors. The opportunity is open for response until September 4, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 561399, which covers other support services, indicating the scope may involve administrative, logistical, or facility-related subcontracted work. All activities must align with federal and local objectives to promote inclusive economic development within the community.
