About this file
This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by George Mason University's Purchasing Department for an Affinity Debit Card Partnership, identified by solicitation number GMU-SS0618-25 and dated July 30, 2025. The RFP seeks proposals for a debit card partnership, with all communications and submissions to be conducted through Mason's Bonfire Portal. Proposals are due on September 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with a question submission deadline of August 11, 2025, and responses to be posted by August 14, 2025. The university emphasizes that proposals will not be accepted via email, mail, eVA, or in-person, and all communication with potential vendors will occur exclusively through the Bonfire platform.
Vendors have two contract submission options: full acceptance of Mason's standard contract with no proposed changes, or submission of proposed exceptions and additional documents. The RFP includes provisions for Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned (SWaM) business certification, and explicitly states that the university does not discriminate against faith-based organizations or potential bidders based on race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, or other protected characteristics. No specific pricing details or funding sources are outlined in this initial RFP document, which appears to be the first stage in a competitive procurement process for establishing an affinity debit card partnership.
