FDIC Market Research for Nationwide Registered-Agent and Process-Agent Services

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Legal Division is researching a coordinated nationwide registered-agent and service-of-process solution. - Government buyer: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Legal Division, Legal Services Contracts Group. - Service requested: Registered-agent services and receipt, identification, digitization, routing, tracking, and retention of documents served on the FDIC.

Meet applicable legal and licensing requirements and protect confidential information through cybersecurity controls; perform conflict checks and provide performance reporting upon request. - Transition: Support an orderly transition from incumbent provider CT Corporation System, ideally preparing and filing change-of-agent documents in each state and paying associated state fees. The FDIC also seeks estimates for filing fees, pass-through expenses, and work related to its federal corporate status. - Pricing and term: The FDIC requests nonbinding, all-inclusive annual fixed-price estimates for a potential three-year period covering 2027–2029, with one-time transition costs itemized separately. The anticipated start is January 2027; exact contract dates are not specified, and an agreement template provides for extension by mutual written agreement. - OEMs and products: No product manufacturers, product part numbers, or product quantities are identified. This is a services requirement; no award or selected contractor is identified. - Potential competing providers: Corporation Service Company (CSC) and Cogency Global provide comparable registered-agent and compliance services.
