Contract AwardProfessional ServicesDetected May 21, 2026

The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) Board approved Resolution No. 4 on May 21, 2026 authorizing contracts with Bureau Veritas Technical Assessments LLC and Nova Group, GBC to perform physical needs assessments. The procurements followed an RFP that was widely advertised, evaluated by a committee, and reviewed by Board committees and resident leadership before recommendation.The contracts have a total aggregate not‑to‑exceed value of 10000000 over a two‑year base term with three one‑year option periods, with work orders assigned between the two firms at the Contracting Officer’s discretion. This decision signals that PHA is planning systematic assessments of its housing stock, which typically precede significant capital repair, modernization, energy retrofit, and redevelopment projects. Vendors in architecture, engineering, construction, energy efficiency, and project management can use this as advance intelligence to position for follow‑on design and implementation work once the needs assessments identify specific property upgrades.

Work will be distributed between the two awardees based on need and performance, and funding availability governs actual spend up to the not-to-exceed amounts.
