Request for Quote (RFQ) – Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or the Bureau) -- Alternative Credit Data and Associated Services – The CFPB seeks to acquire a panel dataset that provides information on roughly 1.5 million to 2 million U.S. consumers and that includes de-identified alternative data matched with traditional credit records. The data from the panel would be used to assess alternative data’s potential to affect credit price and underwriting. The data would also be used to examine the potential differing effects for different sets of consumers, particularly those who shift from being “credit invisible” to “credit visible” or from “unscorable” to “scorable.”

To support data interoperability at DHS, the department’s components are categorizing data into “domains.” This allows components to share best practices for managing data in those different domains and identify new tools and technologies, like AI, to manage data. “I'm working with the other partner components on a law enforcement domain as it relates to data and synchronizing the needs and opportunities for using AI across the other nine component partners I have working within the law enforcement area,” Clark said. “We're also looking at common guidance for the use of commercial data and consistent standardized use. As you develop one tool, that tool could have applicability for another component.”
