About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) and Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand issued by a Florida county's Records, Taxes, and Treasury (RTT) Division. The document seeks to determine whether PaymentExpress Services from Grant Street Group, Inc., is available from multiple providers or if alternative solutions exist that would meet the county's requirements. PaymentExpress is a secure, fully integrated payment processing system currently utilized by RTT for front counter and online credit card transactions related to official records services through the Acclaim Recording Software. The system provides real-time authorization and settlement of credit and debit card transactions while maintaining PCI compliance and industry-standard data security. The RFI remains posted until the specified closing date and time, and prospective vendors are invited to submit information demonstrating their ability to provide comparable services or documentation contesting the sole source designation through the county's electronic bidding system.
Vendors responding to this RFI should submit supporting documentation in the electronic bidding system to assist the county in evaluating whether comparable commodities or services are available from multiple suppliers and whether proposed alternatives meet the county's needs. The Director of Purchasing retains sole authority to determine comparability and make the final decision regarding sole source or sole brand designation, with such decisions not subject to objection, protest, or appeal. This RFI is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment, but rather a preliminary evaluation mechanism to assess market availability and establish whether competitive procurement or sole source procurement is appropriate for continued PaymentExpress Services.
