Request for Information (RFI) - FDIC Legal Research, Drafting, and Legal Resource Repository Tools

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors capable of providing three distinct commercial legal technology products: a Legal Research Database, a Legal Document Writing Tool, and a Legal Resource Repository. The FDIC seeks to understand the marketplace for these solutions, evaluate available commercial capabilities, and gather feedback on their requirements while identifying qualified vendors for potential future solicitation opportunities. Key submission deadlines include questions due by August 8, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with complete responses required by August 19, 2025, at the same time. Vendors must provide comprehensive information about their tools' features, including artificial intelligence capabilities, search functionalities, document migration processes, security authorizations, and detailed pricing structures. All responding vendors must be registered in the System of Award Management (SAM.gov), and while submission is voluntary, participation in this RFI may be the only opportunity for consideration in future solicitations.

This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified commercial vendors. The FDIC currently maintains relationships with established legal technology providers including Westlaw Edge, LexisNexis, and Bloomberg Law, indicating these may be incumbent or competing vendors in the marketplace. The anticipated user base spans approximately 550 users for the legal research database, 425 users for the legal document writing tool, and 600 total users for the legal resource repository, which includes both 425 FDIC personnel and 130 external counsel from partner law firms. The RFI falls under NAICS code 519290 for Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services, reflecting the digital nature of the required legal technology solutions. No specific contract values or budget ranges have been disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase, as the FDIC is currently focused on market research and capability assessment.
