About this file

This is a Request for Proposals cover page issued by George Mason University's Purchasing Department for Research Incentive Gift Card Services (RFP GMU-SS0922-25). The RFP was issued on November 21, 2025, and seeks to establish a contract with one or more qualified vendors to provide physical and electronic gift cards for research participants, employee recognition, and departmental use at George Mason University in Virginia. The primary procurement officer is Sara Siddall, Strategic Sourcing Manager, and the secondary procurement officer is Erin Rauch, Director of Strategic Sourcing. All inquiries must be submitted through George Mason's Bonfire Portal no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Time on December 15, 2025, with responses posted by 5:00 PM ET on December 18, 2025. Proposals are due on January 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET and must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire Portal only; email, mail, eVA, and in-person submissions will not be accepted.

The cover page does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, contract duration, or renewal options, as these details are contained in other sections of the RFP documents not provided in this file. Offerors may submit proposals under one of two options: full acceptance of George Mason's Standard Contract without proposed changes, or submission of proposed exceptions and redlined contract documents. The university will not consider additional contract exceptions or vendor documents beyond those submitted with the initial proposal unless George Mason proposes them during negotiations. George Mason University does not discriminate against faith-based organizations or bidders based on race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, or other factors prohibited by state law.
