About this file

This document is Addendum #1 for Request for Proposal (RFP) 69-MFL-0001 issued by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), addressing banking services for ACH, check, and virtual card processing. The addendum provides a comprehensive Q&A document responding to vendor questions submitted before the April 23, 2025 deadline, with proposals due by May 15, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST via NC eVP and a public bid opening scheduled for 3:00 PM the same day. Key clarifications include confirmation that account balances will not be collateralized, pricing should be submitted in line-item detail as Attachment A, and vendors can reference an attached supplier information file for payment volume details.

Notable responses indicate UNCG is not currently open to MasterCard Network branded virtual payable solutions unless they minimally impact current business processes, and the university remains flexible about transaction limits for business-to-consumer (B2C) payments. The addendum emphasizes that vendors should carefully review the attached supplier information document, which contains payment data across various transaction types, while noting that the analysis tab excludes payments to faculty, staff, and students. Vendors are explicitly reminded that a signed copy of this addendum must be returned with their bid package, with failure to do so potentially resulting in proposal rejection.
