The Department of Energy is conducting a market‑research RFI to explore a no‑cost‑to‑the‑Government placement, operation, and servicing of automated teller machines at two DOE facilities. The agency seeks vendor proposals that detail hardware, installation, security, maintenance, and a business model that generates revenue solely from user fees, surcharges, or interchange without any DOE payments. Vendors must outline site requirements, security controls, cash‑replenishment logistics, optional in‑person banking services, and propose contract structures suitable for a federal space‑use arrangement.
• Provide one ATM at each of two locations (Washington, DC and Germantown, MD) with full transaction capabilities, accessibility, and optional banking services.
• Describe a self‑funded business model (no DOE funding) covering hardware ownership, installation, maintenance, cash handling, and security (physical & cyber).
• Submit a detailed response by October 19, 2026, including questions by October 14, 2026, and any optional site‑visit participation.
