Single Family and Commercial Model Validation

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. SSH20180070 This is not a request for offers, quotes or proposals. This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. This is a market research tool only to determine the capability of potential sources. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability and capability of qualified small businesses (including certified 8(a), Small Disadvantaged, HUBZone firms; Veteran and Service-disabled Veteran-owned Small Businesses, Women-owned Small Businesses and Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) to provide annual validation of Single Family Models and Commercial Models. This is not a request for offers, quotes or proposals. This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. This is a market research tool only to determine the capability of potential sources. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Risk Management and Regulatory Affairs (ORMRA), Federal Housing Administration (FHA), is to annually validate the financial/actuarial models. 12 USC 1708(a) (4) states that the purpose of the independent actuarial study is to analyze the financial position of the following critical financial/actuarial models: 1. TASK A, the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF), and 2. TASK B, the General Insurance and Special Risk Insurance (GI/SRI) account. 1. Annual validation of different types of Single Family Models, The intended uses of the Single-Family models to be validated are to: - Estimate FHAs liability for loan guaranty for the forward and HECM programs for FHAs financial statements; - Estimate selected elements of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund capital ratio; - Develop budget estimates (credit subsidy rates and volume) and re-estimates; and, - Estimate principal limit factors for Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. 2. Annual validation of different types of Commercial Models. The intended uses of the commercial models to be validated are to: - Estimate FHAs liability for loan guaranty for the commercial loans for FHAs financial statements; - Develop budget estimates (credit subsidy rates and volume) and re-estimates TASK A - SINGLE FAMILY (MMIF) The MMIF is a group of accounts of the federal government in which transactions associated with FHAs guarantee programs for single family mortgages are recorded. FHA currently insures roughly 8 million forward mortgages with insurance-in-force of $1.1 trillion and 600,000 reverse mortgages with $112 billion in insurance-in-force under the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. The intended uses of the SINGLE-FAMILY models to be validated are to: A. Estimate FHAs liability for loan guaranty for the forward and HECM programs for FHAs financial statements; B. Estimate selected elements of the MMIF capital ratio; C. Develop budget estimates (credit subsidy rates and volume) and re-estimates; and, D. Estimate principal limit factors for HECM. SINGLE FAMILY models serve these four purposes: (1) The forward mortgage insurance model is used to estimate the forward liability for loan guaranty, the forward elements of the MMIF capital ratio, forward budget re-estimates and the credit subsidy elements of budget development. (2) The forward volume model is used to generate the size and composition of each budget cohort. (3) The HECM mortgage insurance model is used to estimate the HECM liability for loan guaranty, the HECM elements of the MMIF capital ratio, HECM budget re-estimates and the credit subsidy elements of budget development. (HECM volume is projected to change in with the age eligible population. The composition of HECM budget cohorts reflects the composition of recent books of business.) (4) The HECM Principal Limit Factor (PLF) model is used to calculate principal limit factors by borrower age and interest rate. TASK B - COMMERCIAL (GI/SRI) The GI/SRI is a group of accounts of the federal government in which transactions associated with FHAs guarantee programs for Multifamily, Hospital, and Nursing Home/Assisted Living/Board & Care facilities mortgages are recorded. FHA currently insures roughly 14,000 commercial mortgages with insurance-in-force of $100 billion in insurance-in-force. The intended uses of the commercial models to be validated are to: A. Estimate FHAs liability for loan guaranty for the commercial loans for FHAs financial statements; B. Develop budget estimates (credit subsidy rates and volume) and re-estimates. The following TASK B - COMMERCIAL models serve these purposes: FHA applies three different types of modeling frameworks to the commercial (multifamily and healthcare) portfolios: I. Logistic Regression Models II. Financial Simulation Model III. Monte-Carlo Simulation Model Within the logistic regression models, there are various sub-models. The differences between the sub-models are the variables and the types of loans or Risk Categories specified for each equation. But they are all structurally the same type of model, just with different variables. The list of the model categories and the sub-categories are: I. Logistic Regression Models 1. Multifamily Apartment Claim Model i. Unassisted New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation Default Model ii. Unassisted Refinance Default Model iii. Assisted New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation and Refinance Default Model iv. Claim Transition Model 2. Multifamily Apartment Prepayment Models v. Unassisted New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation Prepayment Model vi. Unassisted Refinance Prepayment Model vii. Assisted New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation and Refinance Prepayment Model 3. Residential Care Facilities (Nursing Home/Assisted Living/Board & Care facilities) Models viii. Section 232 New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation Claim Model ix. Section 232 Refinance Claim Model x. Section 232 New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation Prepayment Model xi. Section 232 Refinance Prepayment Model 4. Hospital Loan Prepayment Model xii. Section 242 Prepayment Model II. Hospital Loan Financial Simulation Model xiii. Section 242 Claim Model III. Monte-Carlo Simulation Model Stochastic Simulation Model with data input from all the previous models.
