- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research and identify potential firms and industry interest in the effort as described herein. This request is not a solicitation. At this time, there is no solicitation available and requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This RFI is being issued for the purpose of developing a potential viable solicitation that will best communicate the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) requirements to industry. All interested and qualified firms are encouraged to respond with questions and suggestions to FDIC in order to mitigate risk if a requirement was to materialize. Response to this RFI is strictly voluntary and will not affect any firm's ability to submit an offer if, or when, a solicitation is released. However, we highly encourage your firm to respond. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. There is no entitlement to payment by the FDIC of direct or indirect costs or charges that arise as a result of the submission of information in response to this RFI. The FDIC shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable FDIC regulations. Respondents of this RFI may be requested to provide additional clarification information/details based on their initial submittals. This RFI does not constitute an invitation for bid, request for proposals, or request for quote, nor does the issuance restrict the FDIC's acquisition approach. Potential firms shall not consider this request as an obligation on the part of the FDIC to acquire any products or services nor as authority for the FDIC to enter into negotiations. Any information received is considered market research and may be utilized by the FDIC in developing its Acquisition Strategy, Statement of Work (SOW), performance specifications and metrics. This market research will be used to assess the availability and adequacy of potential firms prior to issuing a solicitation. The FDIC will not respond to or conduct formal debriefings to firms as a part of this RFI. The purpose of this RFI is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and identify potential qualified sources that are capable to provide consultation and performance measurement services that support Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan (D&ISP) strategies, Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) communications and discussions, D&I Executive Coaching, and embed D&I into all aspects of the FDIC culture. FDIC seeks to determine the amount of interest in firms who can provide consultation and performance measurement services that support D&ISP strategies, D&I communications and discussions, D&I Executive Coaching, and embed D&I into all aspects of the FDIC culture. The Contractor shall provide Subject Matter Expert (SME) regarding proven D&I strategies, D&ISP best practices, and, as appropriate, effective and efficient measurement of D&ISP goals, objectives, and strategies.
