• Service period: Nov 15 2025 – Apr 15 2026 (approx. 5 months).
• Mandatory insurance coverage with specific limits and additional insured clauses.
• Requirement to submit post‑award documentation (W‑9, certificates of insurance, supplier portal registration).
• Emphasis on data reporting to HMIS and participation in the annual PIT count.
• No explicit funding amount; vendors must propose their own cost structure.
