AF NAF Commercial Purchase Card Services

The Air Force Services Center (AFSVC), a nonappropriated fund instrumentality at JBSA Lackland, Texas, is soliciting commercial purchase card services for NAF programs, with questions due November 20, 2026 and proposals due December 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST. No set-aside is used, and the FAR does not apply because this is a NAF purchase governed by NAF Standard Clauses (May 2025). The notice is a recompete of incumbent contract F41999-19-D-0015. Amendment A0001, effective November 9, 2026, sets the December 11 closing date, superseding the December 1 date in the October 27 Section L, and modifies Section B worksheets, Section C paragraph C.9 (rebates), Section L, and Section M paragraph M.1.

Offerors must be FDIC-insured credit card-issuing banks, credit unions, or savings institutions with minimum assets of $1.5 billion and capital of $100 million, with at least five years serving a minimum of 20 similar organizations. Section L also requires two similar requirements performed within the past five years with sole responsibility for entire contract performance. Place of performance is San Antonio, TX 78236, and the program supports worldwide NAFI operations, including CNIC, USNA, MCCS, NEXCOM, and AFS. Systems storing government data must be physically located within the United States.

Required capabilities include an electronic access system supporting 5,000 concurrent users, Level 1, 2, and 3 transaction data, 150-character accounting strings, XML/XBRL/ASCII file exchange, 36-month online transaction access with 10-year electronic retention, PCI DSS 100% compliance with annual Qualified Security Assessor attestation, NIST 800 and FISMA compliance, and 24/7 availability. Chip-enabled cards ship within 5-7 business days, with overnight rush options.

The contract runs three base years plus seven one-year options, not to exceed ten years total. Offerors price CLIN 0001 (fees) and CLIN 0002 (rebates) for each year. Historical spend was $500.3 million (FY23), $538.6 million (FY24), $492.2 million (FY25), and $506.6 million (FY26). Rebates may be flat-rate or tiered by Visa Interchange program category, distributed quarterly within 30 days of quarter end.

Best Value Trade-off applies, with factors in order of importance: Technical Excellence (Technical Approach, Transition Plan, and Contractor Technical Solution Statement, each requiring a minimum "Acceptable" rating); Live Test Demonstration of the electronic access system (Pass in each test category); Past Performance (a "Substantial" confidence rating requires three of the offeror's own references, with a maximum of three references submitted); and Price, which is analyzed for realism and competitiveness but not rated. Proposals must remain valid for 180 calendar days and are submitted as Adobe PDF through DoD SAFE to sandra.rios.1@us.af.mil, with access link requests due within 14 days of the close date.
