RFP issued for third-generation SmartPay charge card program

The General Services Administration is seeking solutions to streamline transactions, lower costs and more effectively deliver services with the next generation of the SmartPay program.

GSA has released a request for proposals on FedBizOpps for SmartPay 3, which was developed to offer more value and efficiency while continuing to provide the federal government access to purchase, travel, fleet and integrated charge card and payment features, including chip-enabled charge cards, virtual accounts, single-use accounts and declining balance accounts. SmartPay offers commercial payment solutions to over 560 federal agencies, organizations and Native American tribal governments.

Current SmartPay contracts will expire Nov. 29, 2018, and SmartPay 3 contracts will be awarded in time to cover the transition through November 28, 2021, with the potential to extend services to 2031 if all options are exercised.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 4 p.m. EDT, March 22, 2017. 

More information on the SmartPay program and links to the RFP submission instructions can be found at smartpay.gsa.gov.
