The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is seeking quotes for VMware Carbon Black EDR subscription maintenance services through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement. The solicitation (CORHQ-24-Q-0672) covers one-year subscriptions for endpoint detection and response (EDR) software across Windows (13,500 endpoints), Linux (356 endpoints), and Mac (50 endpoints) systems, with production support included for the period of June 26, 2025 through June 25, 2026. Potential bidders must be authorized resellers and provide all items with matching part numbers to be considered technically acceptable. Quotes are due by March 19, 2025 at 8:00 PM EST and must be submitted via email to Raven Childs. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541519 with a size standard of $34M, and potential vendors must complete a supply chain risk management information template and be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).

The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category and allows subcontracting with prior approval. While no specific incumbent contractor is mentioned, the procurement covers comprehensive EDR software maintenance for the FDIC's desktop and laptop systems. The total quantity includes 13,906 total endpoints across different operating systems, with a one-year service period starting in June 2025. The place of performance is identified as Arlington, VA 22226, though the nature of the software subscription suggests work can likely be performed remotely. The FDIC will evaluate pricing for completeness and reasonableness using comparison techniques, with the primary selection criteria being the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer that meets all specified requirements.
