About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI · Jan 23, 2026

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is soliciting proposals for Data Modernization Section Support services to provide comprehensive analysis, development, deployment, and operations of data-related emerging technologies. Key requirements include full lifecycle support for the Cloud Data Management and Analytics (CDMA) Platform, modernization of the legacy AlphaRex NLP solution, enterprise AI capability operations, and development of new DMS solution initiatives from experimentation through production, all utilizing Microsoft Azure cloud technologies. Offerors must demonstrate technical acceptability across six mandatory constraints, including proven experience delivering secure Generative AI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in regulated environments, successful AI integration achieving measurable efficiency improvements, NLP production system delivery to government clients, active Microsoft Solutions Partner certification in Azure AI and Machine Learning, continuous FedRAMP Moderate or High Azure operations since 2021, and demonstrated use of seven specified Azure services. The FDIC will evaluate proposals using a best-value approach with evaluation factors weighted in descending order: Oral Presentation, Technical and Management Approach, Key Personnel, Past Performance, and Price, with technical factors considered more important than cost. The proposal deadline is February 6, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST, with multiple amendments and supplemental Q&A documents issued to clarify requirements as the solicitation evolved from its original October 9, 2025 posting.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and involves incumbent contractors Harmonia Holdings LLC and Microsoft. The contract will be awarded to a single prime contractor on a time-and-materials basis consisting of a one-month transition period, 12-month base period, and three optional 12-month periods, with estimated effort ranging from 640 hours in the transition period to 23,130 hours in option periods. Performance will occur predominantly off-site at a contractor service location with some highly interactive roles potentially required at the FDIC Virginia Square facility in Arlington, Virginia. The FDIC seeks key personnel with expertise in Microsoft Azure Cloud and Enterprise Data Architecture, Azure Databricks Engineering, and AI Engineering, with all resources required to be U.S. citizens performing work in the Continental United States with no offshore resources permitted. The contract falls under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC category DD01 (IT and Telecom - Service Delivery Support Services).
