Summary
The U.S. Census Bureau issued a Request for Collaboration seeking industry input to support planning and acquisition strategy for the 2028 Dress Rehearsal and 2030 Census Decennial as-a-Service (D-X) program. The RFC requests capability and approach details for device lifecycle management, logistics, warehousing, Unified Endpoint Management, compliance (FedRAMP/NIST), surge capacity, and program management across all states and territories. Responses are requested in Microsoft Word format with strict page limits and must be submitted by the stated deadline to Census Bureau contacts; this is a planning-phase collaboration notice and not a grant or an immediate solicitation for award.
