The Ute Indian Housing Authority (UIHA), Fort Duchesne, Utah, intends to identify and select interested accounting firms that provide Fee Accountant Services specifically for Indian Housing Authorities or Tribally Designated Housing Entities as defined in the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). CPA firms are highly preferred. Firms that have a strong working record with calculating and tracking Program and non-Program Income as it relates to IHBG Affordable Housing Activities will receive strong consideration in the review process. Additionally, firms should have sound knowledge in working with Microsoft GP and Housing Data Systems (HDS) software. The successful firm will be offered a 1 year service contract with a cost limit to be determined by UIHA. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is not an Invitation for Bid but a written proposal addressing the services listed.
Interested firms shall submit proposals which includes business resume, professional licenses or certifications, description of services to be provided with identification of the individual(s) in the firm who will have primary responsibility for providing services to UIHA, three clients to serve as references, a history on working with Indian Housing Authorities or Native American Tribes, fee structure which includes hourly fee and types of expenses that are to be charged, and any contract history with UIHA. This RFP is being advertised as an open procurement with Indian Preference. Firms claiming Indian Preference must submit proof of enrollment with an Indian tribe and proof of at least 51% Indian ownership of their firm.
