COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF AUGUST 6,1998 PSA#2153Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Division of
Administration-Acquisition Services Branch, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room
1700PA-4139, Washington, DC 20429 D -- COTS) WORKSTATION FOR EXAMINERS TO USE IN THE COMPLIANCE
EXAMINATION PROCESS. DUE 081898 POC Delores B. Crank, Contract
Specialist, (202) 942-3541 FDIC is seeking sources to indicate interest
in providing a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) compliance examination
system. The system must support the compliance examination process and
should allow for customization to meet FDIC unique requirements and
for inclusion of enhancements to accommodate new and/or modified
examination policies and procedures, including regulations changes.
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The purpose of this
notice is to develop a list of qualified firms than can provide an
automated compliance examination system. Companies are invited to
submit a conceptual approach that accomplishes the FDIC's goals and to
provide complete information discussing the following qualifications
and experiences. (1) Experience in providing a compliance examination
package that supports a mobile (laptop use) examiner workforce that may
work an exam individually or in teams, incorporates applicable Federal
consumer and compliance regulations, and supports customization and
enhancement. (2) Experience in providing ongoing support and
maintenance, including updates for regulation changes, for a compliance
examination package. (3) Specific information on how your proposed
compliance examination package can satisfy FDIC requirements.
Background: The FDIC through its examination process is responsible for
ensuring compliance with fair Lending and consumer protection laws and
regulations. The regulations are complex and require extensive
in-depth knowledge on the part of the examiner. Each bank examination
will require examiners to review a sample of loans and deposit account
records to determine compliance with applicable regulations. The
division of Compliance and Consumer Affairs (DCA) is seeking to acquire
an automated PC (including laptop) based software for use in the
examination of banks to help determine compliance with Fair Lending and
consumer protection laws and regulations. The FDIC technical
environment: The workstation product will primarily be in operation on
examiner laptops at the FDIC. The laptop is a Dell 166 Mega-hertz
Pentium processor with MMX technology. The machine has 64 MB RAM and a
3-gigabyte hard drive with an integrated CD-ROM. The FDIC operates in
the Windows 95/MS Office environment. Requirements: The software
should have or be easily modified to have the capabilities to: organize
and customize the examination based upon activities of the bank; guide
examiners through the examination process, including automated review
by regulation; share information between examiners; provide a central
"toolbox" of automated examination tools/calculators (such as business
day and payoff amount calculatios); develop an audit trail; and,
facilitate the preparation of supporting work papers and a Report of
Examination. The software should have the capability to perform
transactional testing of actual loan and deposit information for
compliance with applicable regulations. For a list of regulations that
the FDIC examiners include please contact Ms. Crank at the above
number. Firmsresponding to this announcement which fails to provide the
required information may not be considered for inclusion into any
resulting source list. Please include if your product is available on
GSA schedule and current pricing information. Facsimile and telephone
responses will not be accepted. Posted 08/04/98 (W-SN232355). (0216) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0032 19980806\D-0010.SOL)
