Sec. 943.148  What procurement standards apply to PHAs selecting partners 
for a joint venture?

    (a) The requirements of part 85 of this title are applicable to this 
part, subject to paragraph (b) of this section, in connection with the 
PHA's public housing program.
    (b) A PHA may use competitive proposal procedures for 
qualifications-based procurement (request for qualifications or 
``RFQ''), or may solicit a proposal from only one source (``sole 
source'') to select a joint venture partner to perform an administrative 
or management function of its public housing program or to provide or 
arrange to provide supportive or social services covered under this 
part, under the following circumstances:
    (1) The proposed joint venture partner has under its control and 
will make available to the partnership substantial, unique and tangible 
resources or other benefits that would not otherwise be available to the 
PHA on the open market (e.g., planning expertise, program experience, or 
financial or other resources). In this case, the PHA must maintain 
documentation to substantiate both the cost reasonableness of its 
selection of the proposed partner and the unique qualifications of the 
partner: or
    (2) A resident group or a PHA subsidiary is willing and able to act 
as the PHA's partner in performing administrative and management 
functions or to provide supportive or social services. This entity must 
comply with the requirements of part 84 of this title (if the entity is 
a nonprofit) or part 85 of this title (if the entity is a State or local 
government) with respect to its selection of the members of the team and 
the members must be paid on a cost-reimbursement basis only. The PHA 
must maintain documentation that indicates both the cost reasonableness 
of its selection of a resident group or PHA subsidiary and the ability 
of that group or subsidiary to act as the PHA's partner under this 
provision.
