Doing Business

Procurement

HACA’s Procurement Department leads all purchasing activities, including issuing solicitations, evaluating qualified vendors, and awarding contracts. Our goal is to ensure full and open competition while maintaining transparency, fairness, and the highest standards of accountability in every business opportunity we create.

Accounting

The Accounting and Accounts Payable team oversees the review, validation, and processing of all financial obligations for HACA. This includes managing invoices, coordinating payments, and ensuring compliance with internal financial policies. For questions related to resident charges or ledgers, individuals should directly contact their assigned property manager.

Vendor Registration

HACA welcomes businesses interested in becoming a vendor or partner. By registering through the Housing Agency Marketplace, vendors gain access to all open IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs, as well as updates on new opportunities. Registration helps us connect with qualified suppliers and build a reliable network to support our ongoing and future projects.

The Procurement and Contracts Department of the Asheville Housing Authority is committed to ensuring fair, transparent, and efficient purchasing practices that support our mission to provide safe, quality, and affordable housing. We are often seeking mutually beneficial partnerships with qualified vendors.

PROCUREMENT

We generate solicitations and award contracts to business partners in a manner that fosters full and open competition.

WHAT IS AN RFP? (REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL)

When we are ready to select a vendor for business, a separate request for proposal (RFP) will be issued to those who qualify. A qualified vendor is one that has been qualified through the RFQ process. All RFPs are managed through Housing Agency Marketplace.

WHAT IS AN RFQ? (REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS)

We occasionally issue requests for qualifications (RFQs) to update our list of qualified developers and vendors. The purpose of this process is to establish a qualified “pool” of vendors for a particular service or material needed by HACA to conduct daily business. It is possible that an RFQ may be issued without having a current business opportunity to offer.

POTENTIAL VENDORS

If you are interested in working with us, please register for an account through Housing Agency Marketplace. This will allow our Procurement Department to notify you of upcoming business opportunities in your professional area of expertise.

Once registered, potential vendors can view all open IFBs, RFPs and RFQs listed by INLIVIAN. All modifications will be updated through Housing Agency Marketplace.
