The document is a transmittal for HUD Handbook 7460.8 REV 2, titled "Procurement Handbook for Public Housing Agencies." The handbook provides detailed guidance and requirements for public housing agencies (PHAs) in the procurement process for the operation, modernization, and development of public housing. It aims to clarify, simplify, and update procurement requirements, taking into account changes in federal laws and regulations.
The handbook aligns with 24 CFR Part 85, which outlines administrative requirements for grants and cooperative agreements to state, local, and tribal governments. It covers various aspects of procurement, including the methods of procurement, such as competitive or noncompetitive proposals. It also provides information on Qualification Based Selection (QBS), which is a form of procurement method.
The previous version of the handbook assumed a centralized approach to PHA purchasing. However, with the implementation of asset management, purchasing functions are often administered by on-site personnel. The revised handbook takes this into consideration and provides guidance that is applicable to both centralized and decentralized procurement processes.
Additionally, the document includes definitions for important terms used in the procurement process, such as offer, offeror, procurement, and proposal. These definitions help ensure a common understanding of key concepts throughout the procurement process.
Overall, the handbook serves as a comprehensive resource for PHAs, providing them with the necessary guidance and requirements to effectively navigate the procurement process for public housing operations, modernization, and development.
