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. GSA will apply a statistical sample of its FY25 accounts (as shown in the tables of Section 1.4 Current Environment below) at a 95% confidence interval. The accounts used for the pilot will be determined by GSA and provided to the contractor(s) after award.
The goal of this project – through the CSO authority cited in Section 1.1 Authority – 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.
