SECURE THIRD-PARTY COLLABORATION SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT OCC BANK AUDITS

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) – Treasury
Subject: Secure Third-Party Collaboration Solutions to Support OCC Bank Audits

The United States Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC) is conducting market research to determine the feasibility for a potential procurement requirement.  This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations.  The purpose of this notice is to obtain information from industry contractors regarding their interest, capabilities, and recommendations for a third-party solution that extends Microsoft 365 for secure external collaboration with banks and other regulators. OCC examiners must securely exchange bank supervisory evidence and documentation with financial institutions while maintaining a closed-tenant security posture (i.e., no guest accounts in OCC’s Microsoft 365 tenant).

This RFI seeks information on vendor capabilities to provide solutions that:

• Simplify and enhance OCC’s bank supervision workflows.
• Leverage OCC’s Microsoft 365 (M365) investment without duplicating data into another platform.
• Integrate with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and other compliance controls.
• Provide trusted, auditable, and branded collaboration mechanisms for OCC-bank interactions.
• Meet or exceed Federal information security requirements, including FedRAMP and NIST standards.

This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment by the Government.  Please see the attached document for the complete RFI.
