PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a congressionally chartered government corporation and federal agency established to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation’s financial system. Its responsibilities include insuring deposits, examining and supervising financial institutions, and managing receiverships of failed insured depository institutions. This RFI seeks to identify vendors capable of providing nationwide registered agent and service-of-process receipt and routing services. The FDIC seeks a single, coordinated solution covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and applicable U.S. territories, with a secure, unified web-based platform for digitizing, delivering, tracking, and storing served documents. This RFI requests information about vendors’ jurisdictional coverage, operational capabilities, information security, transition support, willingness to accept FDIC contract terms, and estimated pricing. Responses will inform the FDIC’s assessment of available providers and potential alternatives to its current service arrangement, with potential service commencement in January 2027. The anticipated solution would provide:
1. Registered agent and service-of-process coverage in all U.S. jurisdictions identified at Agents for Service of Process | FDIC.gov, including the District of Columbia, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
2. Reliable receipt, identification, digitization, and delivery of documents served on the FDIC. 3. A secure, unified, web-based platform for document access, routing, acknowledgment, reporting, and retention.
4. An orderly transition from the incumbent provider without a gap in coverage or disruption to document delivery. Ideally, this would include preparing and filing a change of agent document in each state and paying any associated state fees for that action. Submission of any information in response to this RFI is voluntary. However, the FDIC may make procurement decisions
