The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) includes background information on the LEED for Homes Program, the submittal instructions for organizations interested in applying to be selected as LEED for Homes Providers, and a nine-page submittal form. USGBC plans to establish contractual relationships with new LEED for Homes Providers. These Providers will be the primary verification agents for the LEED for Homes program, with USGBC providing quality assurance oversight. Each Provider organization will be responsible for the selection, training, scheduling, and quality assurance of a team of in-field LEED for Homes green raters. Submittals are due to USGBC by 5 PM EST on Friday, November 14th , 2008. Submittals that are not complete will be disqualified. Submittals will be reviewed upon receipt.
