Direct Requests for Bids

It is BHA’s policy to obtain three to five bids when awarding contracts; however, for small purchases of up to $3,000 ($2,000 if Davis Bacon wage rates apply), BHA may obtain only one quote as long as the quote is considered reasonable. To the greatest extent feasible, and to promote competition, small purchases will be distributed among qualified sources. Quotes may be obtained orally (either in person or by phone), by fax, in writing, or through electronic procurement.
