The Solicitation Process

The Harris County Housing Authority is pleased to do business with technically proficient and innovative companies. Our business partners offer comprehensive goods and services that benefit whole communities and residents in every corner of the county. Each contract awarded brings the Authority one step closer in executing its ambitious plan to reshape assisted housing, and HCHA continues to make and retain relationships with these contributors. As a public agency, all purchasing by HCHA must be performed in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 2 CFR 200.

Each solicitation varies depending on the scope of the bid, but generally, HCHA procures goods and services in the following ways:

The Informal Solicitation Process (Less than $150K)
Purchase orders and contracts for goods and services valued at less than $150,000 may be solicited without public advertisement via mail or fax quotations from an adequate number of qualified sources. Goods and services valued at less than $3,000 may be procured after receiving only one quote as long as that quote is deemed reasonable.

The Formal Solicitation Process (More than $150K)
The formal process applies to procurements valued at $150,000 or more. Solicitations of this value must be processed in an open and competitive manner. In cases in which a Request for Proposals (RFP) is needed, vendors must submit a sealed bid, which will be evaluated based on benefits and/or price. Any procurement valued at greater than $25,000 must be approved by HCHA’s Board of Commissioners. All bids and proposals should be tendered to: 1933 Hussion Street, Houston TX 77003.
