PROCUREMENT

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

RFP

WHAT IS AN RFP? (REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL)

The purpose of an RFP (Request for Proposal) is to solicit competitive bids from potential vendors or contractors for a specific project, product, or service. All HACA RFPs are managed through Housing Agency Marketplace.

RFQ

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.
