Please review the General Scope of Work and provide your feedback to Christopher Stuart at Christopher.S.Stuart@hud.gov. Please call 303-672-5278 if there are questions. So, what exactly is HUD contemplating acquiring? The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office of Single Family Asset Management (OSFAM) is seeking information that will assist in procurement and implementation of a business intelligence (BI) and integrated analytics platform as well as an associated front-end interface for external end users to support current and future HUD initiatives and requirements. The Department intends to procure the services of a business service provider to provide a state-of-the-art web-based system with current technologies and technical capabilities, to design best practices and other factors that allow flexible manipulation of data, to deliver specific, well-defined projects, and to train the HUD user on full utilization of the system. BACKGROUND The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), an organizational unit within HUD, administers the single-family mortgage insurance program. FHA insures approved lenders against the risk of loss on loans they finance for the purchase, and in some instance rehabilitation, of single-family homes. When an FHA insured loan goes into default, the lender is required to evaluate each defaulted borrower for loss mitigation, and if loss mitigation is not feasible, to commence foreclosure. Following foreclosure, the lender conveys the foreclosed property to HUD and files a claim for insurance benefits. The National Servicing Center (NSC) is a division of the OSFAM that provides national servicing and loss mitigation support to FHA lenders and borrowers in the form of client-based loss mitigation assistance and servicing complaint resolution assistance. NSC also monitors loan servicing activities of all FHA approved servicers, evaluates risk to the FHA fund through statistical analysis, reviews default and foreclosure data for program study, and manages FHA assigned and subordinate loans owned by HUD known as the Secretary-Held portfolio. HUD utilizes a variety of systems to store information relating to approximately 8.0 million active insured single-family loans. FHA loan data is stored the Single Family Housing Enterprise Data Warehouse (SFHEDW), and is utilized by the NSC to identify trends, program successes and failures relating to servicing activities, to analyze the impact of risk on the FHA insurance fund, and to monitor lender performance. Currently, the National Servicing Center (NSC) utilizes a web-based system, Single Family-Data Analysis and Reporting Tool (SF-DART), which houses many of the reports used by the OSFAM and other HUD clients. The current platform is built on SAS version 9.4. The SAS licenses are owned and customized by a Contractor under the direction of HUD. The SAS environment requires a minimum of a three-tier server design and is located outside of the HUD firewall. In addition, the Contractor hosts software applications on its own servers within its facilities and provide for database and programming administration, backup processing, hardware and software acquisition, support, and maintenance. The contractor provides administrative and security rights and access to the SAS environment via the web portal.
