How to bid on Recruitment Support Services for HUD
What HUD is buying and why it matters
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is conducting market research for strategic talent sourcing and recruitment support services. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks industry feedback on draft requirements for services such as recruitment outreach, market research, talent-pipeline development, and recruitment-event support.
This is an opportunity for your business to influence the future direction of a potential contract. Your input can help shape the final requirements and pricing structure for these services, which could lead to a future solicitation.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on September 03, 2026. The deadline for submitting your response is September 11, 2027, at 5:00 PM ET. At the deadline, HUD will stop accepting feedback on the draft requirements and proposed pricing structure.
Remember, this is market research, not a notice for a contract award. Your response will help HUD refine its requirements and acquisition strategy for a potential future solicitation.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for professional services firms specializing in human resources, talent acquisition, recruitment, and workforce development. Businesses with expertise in strategic talent sourcing, recruitment outreach, market research, and developing talent pipelines would be a good fit.
If your firm has experience supporting recruitment events or providing feedback on commercial pricing structures for similar services, your input would be valuable to HUD.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
When responding to an RFI, focus on providing clear, concise, and actionable feedback. Address each question or area of feedback specifically requested by HUD, such as the clarity of requirements, consistency with commercial practices, and appropriateness of the proposed pricing structure.
If you suggest alternative pricing approaches, explain why your suggestions better align with commercial practices and how they support a performance-based acquisition. Your response should demonstrate your understanding of the services and your firm's capabilities without being a sales pitch.
