RFI_2030_DX_v2.pdf

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the United States Census Bureau (USCB) to engage industry leaders in identifying scalable, mission-critical IT solutions for the 2028 Dress Rehearsal and 2030 Decennial Census. The USCB seeks a fully integrated end-to-end IT solution that supports large-scale equipment deployments, including mobile IT device management, mobile cellular services, logistics management, asset management, and decommissioning services. The solution must support hundreds of thousands of census employees across decentralized mobile field sites, ensuring real-time connectivity, seamless data handling, and secure infrastructure.

The RFI requires vendors to submit responses by September 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST, with specific submission guidelines and section requirements. Vendors must address questions in sections including Company Overview, Paper Data Capture, Logistics Management, Mobile Device Information, and Telecommunication & Cellular Services. Key technological needs include mobile IT equipment (smartphones, tablets, laptops), IT hardware, software licensing, computer accessories, network infrastructure, and mobile cellular subscription plans. The census is a massive logistical undertaking critical for determining congressional representation, federal funding allocation, and understanding population demographics, with the 2030 Census marking the 25th population count in the United States.
