Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an independent civilian agency that insures deposits and regulates state-chartered banks, maintains a highly fragmented contract portfolio centered on enterprise information technology, software subscriptions, and facilities management. The FDIC has issued 844 cumulative federal contract awards totaling $75.5 million in combined potential value since 2000, with $39.3 million obligated to date.

Contract activity peaked in the mid-2000s—328 awards in 2005 and 194 in 2006—then declined sharply to just 1 or 2 awards per year from 2007 onward, with the most recent award closing on January 11, 2010. This portfolio carries no recent awards and is substantially dormant from a historical contracting perspective. No set-asides have been used across the portfolio; all 844 awards (100 percent) are unrestricted.

The FDIC has worked with 24 distinct prime contractors across its history, none of whom dominate by award count or reported value. Competitive concentration is highly fragmented, reflecting the agency's preference for task-specific, low-value awards rather than prime vehicle accumulation.

Current solicitation activity, however, signals a sharp operational shift. The FDIC has opened multiple active procurements across its Office of the Chief Operating Officer and supporting divisions, driven by enterprise modernization and infrastructure renewal. Recent solicitations include a Software Supply Chain Security Solution (RFP CORHQ-26-R-0394, due October 16, 2026); an Enterprise Wide Area Network and Local Area Network Services Basic Ordering Agreement (RFP CORHQ-26-R-0342, due November 16, 2026); IBM Mainframes and Maintenance (RFQ CORHQ-26-Q-0388, due October 22, 2026); and market-research RFIs for OCOO Enterprise Systems Modernization (due November 2, 2026), nationwide registered agent and process agent services (due October 29, 2026), and enterprise laptop acquisition and lifecycle management (due October 5, 2026). Additional open RFQs cover software maintenance renewals (JFrog Artifactory, Fortra Digital Risk, SolarWinds, Copado, Quest, Fortify On Demand, BMC, LexisNexis Bridger, VeriSign/DigiCert, FedRAMP Webex, Thruput Manager) and hardware acquisition (Samsung televisions, CTSS equipment refresh). Two pre-solicitation notices indicate major capital projects: FDIC VASQ Courtyard and Building Envelope Repair and Replacement (sources-sought due August 26, 2026, with estimated value between $25 million and $100 million) and Architectural and Engineering Services (market research due August 25, 2026). All current opportunities are unrestricted, with no set-asides applied.

The FDIC is not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and has published its acquisition policies separately at fdic.gov/buying/goods/acquisition.

FDIC responds to questions about federal deposit insurance coverage and handles complaints and inquiries about FDIC-insured state banks which are not members of the Federal Reserve System.
