The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has rolled out even more states upon the Marketing and Management (M&M), Asset Manager (AM) 3.9 Contract DU204SA-17-R-0001. It currently looks like 36 states up for grabs — 40 if you count DC, Guam and half of Texas. That is 13 areas covering nearly two thirds of the entire United States! Now, if HUD follows the same type of procurement as they did with the M&M Field Service Manager (FSM) 3.10 rollout, you can guarantee that anyone whom gets that Sources Sought in by 24 April 2017 will have a good chance in making sure that the vast majority of these Contracts are earmarked for small business. What this also means is that the previous demands for historical performance will go by the wayside and I applaud HUD if they actually allow small business to stand a chance.
And HUD means business. Look, on the HUD M&M FSM 3.10, the first award out of the gate was to a small business. Purdy Enterprise was issued the Indiana and Kentucky area. Thomas Purdy is a stand alone, service connected, disabled, veteran owned business. They looked at his bid; they looked at his presentation; and HUD went with him in a historic award just last week. It was a good award to a good firm.
Foreclosurepedia recently attended two Summits in Indianapolis and Kansas City, sponsored by the International Association of Field Service Technicians (IAFST), discussing precisely these things. We work with small businesses to assist they with procurement matters. Our Conferences are always free of charge. There is no reason why financial access ought to be the threshold to fair and competitive bidding. While we do Consult independently, catch us at any of our Summits this year to sit down and learn!
Let Foreclosurepedia put it in the way that only a trained media professional such as myself, is capable of doing,
