USDA Rural Development Audit Guide Development

The USDA Rural Development Office has issued RFQ 12C0BZ26Q0002, a Total Small Business Set‑Aside (NAICS 541219, $25 M size standard), for the development of audit review guides and a pilot implementation supporting lenders in the Rural Business‑Cooperative Service, Single‑Family Housing, and Multi‑Family Housing guaranteed loan programs. The award will be a firm‑fixed‑price contract with an eight‑month base period and two optional eight‑month extensions (plus a possible six‑month extension under FAR 52.217‑8). The contractor must create regulatory‑compliant Review Guides, conduct lender reviews (minimum five lenders per program, each reviewing at least five loan files), and deliver individual lender reports and a program‑level summary identifying trends, risks, and corrective actions. Guides must be updated continuously based on findings and USDA feedback. All quotations must include detailed technical approaches, pricing for the base and all option periods, and resumes demonstrating key personnel meet the PWS qualifications. Evaluation will follow a “lowest price technically acceptable” methodology; the lowest‑priced offer will be examined for technical acceptability and past performance, with subsequent offers considered if the first is unacceptable. Submissions are limited to qualified small businesses, and no separate written solicitation will be issued. For questions, contact Christopher Bany (407‑572‑0441).
