- Description
- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is seeking sources for review and advisory services regarding one or more staffing models that are used in FDIC's risk management and compliance examination roles. This sources sought is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal or as an obligation on the part of the FDIC to acquire any products or services; submitting a response does not ensure your firm will be solicited on any resulting Request for Proposal. The FDIC does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the information requested. Submission of a response to this request is entirely voluntary. The voluntary submission of a response to this request shall not obligate the FDIC to pay or entitle the submitter of information to claim any direct or indirect costs or charges or any other remuneration whatsoever. The FDIC strongly encourages the participation of minority-owned and women-owned businesses in all the business and contracting activities of the FDIC. The FDIC is currently exploring market capabilities for providing services to advise and assist it regarding one or more staffing models used in its risk management and compliance examination roles. As a general background, the FDIC maintains stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system by insuring deposits, examining and supervising financial institutions for safety and soundness and consumer protection, and managing receiverships. The FDIC employs models to ensure that it is appropriately staffed to carry out its examination responsibilities. These models take into consideration many factors including the following: the number, size, condition, and operations of banks to be examined; the size and composition of the FDIC examiner workforce; and the workload demands on the FDIC examiner workforce arising from examination responsibilities and other tasks. The FDIC wishes to conduct an evaluation of these models that includes the following: • evaluation of the data sources and assumptions relied upon by the models, some of which are themselves models; • review of the models' logic, construction, and quantitative methods that yield an understanding of the stability, sensitivity, and limitations of the subject model; • analysis of model performance over a recent period of operation, including a statistical analysis of generated estimates versus observed experience; • identification or development of alternative approaches to producing the estimates generated by current models or otherwise providing quantitative support to the decisions that presently rely on existing models; and • recommendations for modifications to existing models. Responses should focus on your firm's capabilities to provide services to advise and assist the FDIC regarding its staffing models. Please provide the following: 1. A statement detailing your expertise in evaluations of the type listed above, including a description of your organization's and key employees' qualifications in the following areas (noting that experience and expertise in all areas is not necessarily for contractor qualification): a. modeling, model review, and validation (including experience in providing independent model review and evaluations for third parties); b. staffing and workforce planning and analysis, including workload estimation; c. FDIC risk management and compliance examination practices and procedures; and d. statistical analysis of financial and economic data. 2. A description of your fee structures and pricing mechanisms for all services. 3. A list of representative clients. 4. A point of contact: Name Company Name & Address Phone number Email address Please do not exceed ten pages; however, you may submit any supplemental marketing literature. Please submit your written response to Richard Sites via email at rsites@fdic.gov or by fax at (703) 812-7428 by 10:00 a.m. EDT on May 26, 2015. Questions or requests for clarification must be received by 10:00 a.m. EDT on May 1, 2015, via email at rsites@fdic.gov or via facsimile at (703) 812-7428.
