REAC Inspection Auctions June 2018

May 30, 2018 by Alejandro Dominguez

REAC Inspection Auctions Announced for 6/16/18

The Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) has announced Auctions 805-808 will occur on 6/16/18. These auctions are part of the Reverse Auction Program (RAP). The auctions include Multi-Family Section 8 properties across the continental United States, Hawaii, and Alaska. In addition, Auction 808 is part of the inter-agency pilot program. The performance deadline of these REAC inspections is 9/22/18.

What is the Reverse Auction Program?

Per HUD, “The PIH-REAC Reverse Auction Program involves a process of securing property inspection services for HUD-assisted housing”. An auction is conducted on-line and inspections are awarded to eligible contractors with the lowest bid. The contractor then schedules and performs the property inspections in accordance with Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) protocol. These inspections are commonly referred to as “REAC Inspections” and are part of the Physical Assessment Subsystem overseen by HUD REAC. Inspection lists and previous auction results can be found on the Reverse Auction Program website.

Protocol Change For Bed Bug Units(1/21/16)

January 21, 2016 by Alejandro Dominguez

New Change to Bed Bug Protocol

Effective 2/1/16, bed bug units are no longer exempt from REAC inspections. Before the start of the inspection, property staff must provide the inspector with a list of all active bed bug units. The inspector will mark all units in the inspection software and call the REAC Technical Assistance Center for a TAC number. After the inspection sample is generated, the inspector must enter in bed bug unit that shows up in the sample. Previously, the inspector would have been allowed to select an alternate unit, but this is no longer acceptable.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
