Vendors must demonstrate PCI-DSS compliance and the ability to handle multiple departmental accounting practices, with specific interest from University Advancement Gift Services and Office of Merchant Services. The RFP requires detailed technical proposals addressing system capabilities, integration potential with existing university systems, and real-time credit card payment processing.
