This Request for Quote (“RFQ”) is issued by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Housing and Community Resources (“Department”), to solicit Quotes from qualified Bidders to support the 2027 New Jersey Point-in-Time (“PIT”) Count. The Department anticipates awarding one Contract with total payment not to exceed $200,000 for the anticipated term of December 18, 2026, through June 30, 2027.

The PIT Count provides a snapshot of the number and characteristics of people experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness on a designated night in January. Information collected by New Jersey’s 16 Continuums of Care (“CoCs”), covering 21 counties, forms the basis for statewide and local PIT findings. These findings support understanding of homelessness across New Jersey, local planning and coordination, and applicable U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) reporting and funding application requirements.

The successful Bidder (“Contractor”) shall provide survey preparation and training, CoC and stakeholder coordination, data collection support, data input, deduplication, quality assurance, analysis, HUD reporting and submission support, and preparation of statewide and local PIT reports. The reports shall present summary and detailed findings, including comparisons with recent PIT counts and explanations of limitations affecting those comparisons.

The Contractor shall work under the direction of the Department of Community Affairs (“DCA”) in coordination with NJ HMIS staff and the CoCs. Each CoC retains responsibility for conducting its local count and ensuring completion of required HUD reporting.
