As detailed within 2 CFR §200.318(e), and Chapter 14 of HUD Procurement Handbook 7460.8 REV 2, housing agencies are "encouraged to enter into State and local intergovernmental agreements or inter-entity agreements for procurement or use of common or shared goods and services." One method is for a housing agency to award a contract to a contractor who has a current contract with another governmental agency that was awarded pursuant to an appropriate competitive solicitation. My firm, Housing Agency Procurement Assistance (HAPA), has such a contract with the Phenix City Housing Authority (PCHA), located in Phenix City, Alabama. Following are a number of documents that will allow a housing agency to justify such a contract award.
