CORHQ-25-R-0450 Amendment 3 Summary Change 01232026.pdf

This is an amendment to a federal solicitation that modifies the requirements and timeline for Solicitation Number CORHQ-25-R-0450 issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The amendment extends the proposal due date to February 6, 2026 before 12:00 PM EST and makes four substantive changes to the Statement of Objectives and Technical Acceptability Matrix.

The changes include updates to Section 7 of the SOO regarding estimated labor costs and hours, with removal of the "Surge FTE" column, and modifications to Attachment 3's technical requirements. Requirement #4 has been updated to require "Microsoft Solutions Partner Data and AI (Azure) (Active)" certification instead of the previous "Microsoft Cloud Partner – Specialist or Expert (Active)" designation. Most significantly, Requirement #1 has been broadened to remove specific technology constraints; the question previously required deployment of Generative AI solutions using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) or knowledge graphs for government or regulated clients, but now requires only that firms provide secure Generative AI solutions grounded in private data after November 14, 2023. The supporting documentation requirement has similarly been simplified to request redacted contract or task order SOW/PWS/SOO instead of specifically identifying RAG or knowledge graph implementations.
