This procurement is subject to the limitations outlined in the General Services Acquisition Manual (GSAM) Part 571 and the associated CSO Guide. This procurement method is used to competitively procure innovative commercial products and commercial services to include innovative technologies and solutions using the commercial solutions opening. GSA is seeking a partner(s) to support a pilot project to assess the feasibility of an innovative, end-to-end commercial payments platform with associated products, services, and systems. Selected partner(s) will be required to provide all associated services for charge card and commercial payments management for a subset of GSA’s internal purchase, travel, and fleet business lines including, but not limited to, issuance, commercial payment systems, fraud analytics, data mining, and information security. This pilot will not encompass the entire GSA SmartPay program. Rather, GSA will require the contractor(s) to establish accounts and/or payment solutions for a subset of GSA’s own internal agency purchase, travel, and fleet transactions. The goal of this project is to explore solutions for a more competitive, flexible, and innovative environment in order to help inform the future of the GSA SmartPay® program requirements, and to help ensure the program remains effective and adaptable to evolving government needs. This includes considering commercially available solutions from innovative offerors who may not already do business with the government.
