Automated Teller Machines located in State buildings throughout the State of Nebraska

The State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau is soliciting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Automated Teller Machine (ATM) services across multiple state facilities, including the Nebraska State Capitol, State Office Building, Department of Transportation, Community Corrections facilities, State Correctional Institution, Law Enforcement Training Center, and Department of Motor Vehicles offices. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to install, operate, and maintain ATMs that meet specific requirements, such as accepting various card types, providing $10 denominations at correctional facilities, and maintaining 24/7 service. Key deliverables include comprehensive ATM deployment, with mandatory compliance to ADA guidelines, bilingual transaction capabilities, and strict security protocols for contractors working within correctional facilities. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in ATM provision and the ability to train employees on complex security and operational requirements. The RFP was released on March 11, 2025, with electronic solicitation responses due on April 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical capabilities, security protocols, transaction fee structures, and operational experience in diverse state facility environments.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will have an initial four-year term with options to renew for three additional one-year periods, allowing for potential expansion of ATM locations during the contract period. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the cost sheet indicates significant transaction volumes across various state facilities, with yearly transactions ranging from 1-2 at some correctional facilities to over 9,000 at others. The vendor will be responsible for all installation costs, communication lines, and monthly connection expenses, generating revenue through transaction fees. Transaction fees will remain consistent for the first two years, with subsequent adjustments negotiated between parties. Although no precise budget range is specified, the comprehensive nature of the RFP and the diverse locations suggest a substantial contract opportunity for a qualified ATM service provider with robust operational capabilities and security protocols.
