- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This is not a request for offers, quotes or proposals. �This notice does not represent a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. �This is a market research tool only to determine the capability of potential sources. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is contemplating establishing a contract under NAICS Code(s) 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services and the Small Business Standard is $16.5M, PSC Code R408, for Risk Management Analysis COVID-19 Services and is issuing this Request For Information (RFI) in order to solicit responses from capable sources and capability statements to ensure sufficient competition exists to meet the government�s requirements. Teaming arrangements and joint ventures will be considered for any subsequent procurement based on the Government's market research. Please review the performance work statement (PWS),�and provide feedback,�if there are questions, email contract specialist, Robert Caldwell at: robert.e.caldwell@hud.gov with subject line: Question- Risk Management Analysis COVD-19 Services. � So, what exactly is HUD contemplating acquiring? The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Healthcare Programs (OHP) requires contractor support to analyze the hospital portfolio and provide comprehensive financial risk management services.� Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Office of Hospital Facilities (OHF) has and continues to receive more asset management requests than ever before in its program history.� The types of the requests vary and include releases of collateral, releases of reserve accounts, emergency debt incurrence, and emergency renovations � all directly related to COVID-19. The types of requests received often have major credit implications and require extremely short turnaround times.� In the absence of analytic resources, it is difficult for OHF to assess the overall credit impact these decisions are having on individual borrowers and/or the portfolio as a whole.� Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic and the velocity and significance of the requests OHF is receiving, without adequate risk assessment resources, it is nearly impossible to predict and track in real time the hospitals that are headed for liquidity crises.� The Office of Healthcare Programs requires risk management analysis service to meet the needs of our hospitals and identify credit risks attributable the COVID-19 emergency. BACKGROUND The Office of Hospital Facilities (OHF) insures nearly 100 hospital mortgages with an unpaid principal balance of almost $6.0 billion.� For each hospital in the application pipeline and in the portfolio, OHF assigns an Account Executive, a HUD staff member who is the hospitals principal point of contact in the program and who is responsible for knowing the hospital in detail, providing client service to the hospital, and evaluating the financial and operational performance of the hospital.� However, the current method of assessing risk has limitations that prevents effective dashboard reporting for risk data on a portfolio-wide and by borrow basis, thus making effective risk mitigation measures difficult to implement and monitor. DEFINITIONS None. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK OHP requires additional risk management services and business risk tools to enhance the underwriting and asset management decision making process for Account Executives. These services and tools will also be useful for the Office of Risk Management to ensure that all facilities are of acceptable risk, and to monitor the entire portfolio of OHP exposures at HUD using a single platform, replacing multiple platforms currently in use. The Contractor shall be required to furnish all the necessary services, qualified personnel, materials, equipment, not otherwise provided by the Government.� Services and capabilities include: Financial Statement Spreading Financial Modeling Portfolio Risk Analysis and Monitoring Database Maintenance Training and Support Custom Ad Hoc Analysis and Reports Specifically, the Contractor shall provide a risk management analysis tool. �The Contractor�s tool should be able to do the following: Collect Administrative, Financial and Utilization Data Provide the capability to create, edit, and delete hospital administrative, financial, and utilization information. Import existing historical data. Facilitate and support ongoing data entry from Account Executives. Minimize data entry errors. Update database data in real-time.

Build and model financial projections. Model financial statement data for underwriting new deals and managing existing credits. Model and analyze UCA Cash Flow for both historical data and future projections. Benchmark performance to comparable hospitals and regions. Develop risk rating analysis on individual obligors and portfolio. Run multiple projection scenarios (i.e. feasibility, budget, Affordable Care Act impact, etc.) and perform sensitivity analysis based on changing economic and legislative issues. Allow the creation and analysis of ""family entities based on parent, subsidiary, holding companies, etc. Provide System Administration and Data Maintenance Maintain analytic tools and databases Provide flexible data storage capabilities. Ensure system scalability to accommodate any potential future program or user growth.
