One-Year Term Contract with One-Year Renewal Options for Income Verification Software for the Community Services Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
Carahsoft is the vendor that administers the Work Number software program used by the Housing Authority to verify income. Most employers submit employee compensation information into this system. According to HUD regulation, the City is required to verify income that may not be reported, which would cause an overpayment of rent on behalf of the participant. Carahsoft is the only vendor that has the detail and the larger number of employers reporting in the system.
The Community Services Department and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the sole source vendor, Carahsoft Technology Corp., at $30,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Consumer Price Index. This purchase is funded by the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
