What HUD requires, and how the Marketplace covers it.

Requirements are from HUD Handbook 7460.8 REV 3 and 2 CFR Part 200.

Procurement methods
What HUD requires
You pick the buying method that fits the dollar amount: micro-purchase, simplified acquisition, sealed bid, or competitive proposal.
2 CFR 200.319, 200.320
How the Marketplace handles it
Run quotes, bids, RFPs, and RFQs. Use Quick Publish when you need to move fast, or Online Solicitation for a complete end-to-end process managed in the system with a full audit trail.
The record an auditor asks for
What HUD requires
Each purchase has a file that tells its story: why you chose that method, why you picked that vendor, and why the price made sense.
2 CFR 200.318(i), 200.334
How the Marketplace handles it
The audit trail is captured automatically as your team works. Bids arrive sealed and time-stamped, and vendor questions, addenda, and clarifications are logged in one place.
Vendor outreach
What HUD requires
You take, and write down, the steps in 2 CFR 200.321 to reach out to small, minority, women-owned, veteran-owned, and labor-surplus-area firms.
24 CFR Part 75, 2 CFR 200.321
How the Marketplace handles it
Solicitations reach 38,000+ registered vendors, filtered by commodity code and geography. MWBE preferences are set on the solicitation, and participation is tracked with the reports HUD reviewers expect.

Pricing is an annual fee based on the units your agency manages, and Housing Choice Vouchers are not counted toward it. See agency pricing →

See how agencies find vendors

Search the vendor database by region, MWBE status and service type, then contact the companies you find. You can also limit results to vendors dedicated to your agency.

Questions

What Housing Authorities ask first

Cost, setup, training and compliance, answered plainly.

Agencies pay an annual usage fee based on the number of public housing units the agency manages or owns. Housing Choice Voucher units are not counted.

Fees run from $1,000 a year for up to 250 units to $9,500 a year for 4,001 units or more.

The full table is on the agency pricing page.

One 60-minute live session with our team, conducted online. We walk through your agency’s specific workflow needs and configure approval routing and compliance settings before you post anything.

There is nothing to install, no servers to maintain, and no IT department involvement required to get started. Your first solicitation can go out the same day.

Most agencies follow strict HUD purchasing guidelines that require posting RFPs, IFBs, or RFQs through specific methods, then collecting and analyzing responses through entirely separate workflows. Each handoff creates more paperwork and more opportunities for compliance gaps.

The Marketplace lets you post, collect, and award in one place. The same HUD-required steps still happen. They just happen in a single workflow that tracks every action automatically.

If your team can use a web browser, your team can use the Marketplace. The 60-minute live session gets them started.

Training and support after that include on-site training, webinars, a knowledgebase, and live chat.

Vendors register free with one agency, or upgrade for $149 to $999 a year to cover a state, regions, or the nation.

The plans are on the vendor pricing page.

The Marketplace was built as HUD eProcurement software from day one, not adapted from generic government tools. It works alongside your state and local requirements, not in place of them.
