Bundling Notice - USDA Rural Development (RD) Loan Servicing & Operational Support

Description: USDA Rural Development (RD), through its Rural Housing Service, issued a Special Notice (Notice ID 12E3-RD-TBD) announcing its intent to consolidate multiple loan servicing support functions into a single nationwide contract under FAR 7.107-3(b). The bundling is intended to streamline operations, improve service delivery, and establish uniform governance across USDA RD's diverse loan programs, with NAICS code 522310 and PSC R408. Market research determined that small businesses cannot perform the full scope as prime contractors due to the size, complexity, and technical requirements, so no small business set-aside will apply.
