Request for Information - Enterprise Laptop Acquisition

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Division of Information Technology is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to determine the most effective acquisition strategy for an enterprise fleet of at least 6,300 laptops. The agency is exploring various procurement models, including traditional purchasing, Device as a Service (DaaS), and hybrid approaches, with a specific interest in integrating artificial intelligence capabilities into the hardware. The scope of the research extends beyond the laptops themselves to include docking stations, wireless keyboards, mice, and comprehensive lifecycle management services such as imaging, provisioning, warranty support, and device disposition. A primary objective of this research is to identify a strategy that mitigates budget spikes typically caused by large-scale, periodic device replacements. The FDIC intends to support approximately 7,100 employees and contractors distributed across its headquarters in Washington, D.C. and Arlington, VA, six regional offices, 74 field offices throughout the continental United States and Puerto Rico, and a small number of remote workers. Technical requirements include the use of Microsoft Intune for workstation image and application deployment and mandatory encryption for all laptop hard drives. This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal request for proposals or a commitment to an award. Interested vendors must submit concise responses, limited to four pages in PDF format, including company details and pricing information via the provided Excel table. The deadline for submissions is October 2, 2026, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
