How to bid on registered agent services for the FDIC

What the FDIC is seeking

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Legal Division is researching vendors that can receive and route registered-agent and service-of-process documents across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and applicable U.S. territories.

The requested service includes a secure, unified web platform to digitize, deliver, track, and store documents. This is a request for information, not a contract award. Responses will help the FDIC assess providers and alternatives to its current arrangement.

Key date and what the deadline means

The RFI was published October 16, 2026. The response deadline is October 29, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.

The FDIC is considering a possible service start in January 2027. Check the attached RFI for the exact submission instructions and deadline details.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity may suit professional-services vendors that provide registered-agent or service-of-process receipt and routing across many jurisdictions, along with secure document handling.

Vendors should be prepared to describe their coverage, operations, information security, transition support, willingness to accept FDIC contract terms, and estimated pricing.

Prepare a clear, useful response

Explain your jurisdictional coverage clearly, including how your service handles the full geographic scope described in the RFI. Describe the operational process from receipt through routing, tracking, and storage.

Address information security and transition support directly, and state whether you are willing to accept the FDIC’s contract terms. Provide estimated pricing in the format requested by the RFI, and make sure the response follows its instructions and arrives before the deadline.

Because this is market research rather than a contract award, make your capabilities and any limits easy to understand so the FDIC can assess your service accurately.
