Consumer Spend Credit Card Data

The City and County of Denver, located in Colorado, is seeking to procure a consumer spend credit card data feed through Invitation for Bid (IFB No. 29703_2) issued by the Department of General Services. The procurement aims to acquire a cloud-based solution providing aggregated and anonymized consumer credit and debit card spending data specifically for Denver City/County. Key deliverables include daily (or weekly) transaction information across online, in-store, and store card channels, with mandated geographic specificity at the Denver City/County level, explicitly excluding MSA or zip code level data. The data feed must provide backend database or API access, technical training and support, and detailed analyses including trends, heat maps, and retention metrics. Evaluation criteria will encompass price, specification compliance, vendor qualifications, and schedule/lead time. Critical procurement dates include a May 26, 2025, deadline for submitting additional questions, May 29, 2025, for receiving question responses, and a final bid submission deadline of June 5, 2025, at 9:00 A.M. local time through the Rocky Mountain E-purchasing System (BidNet). The contract term will span two years from execution, with potential for up to three additional one-year renewals at consistent pricing and terms.

The solicitation encourages vendor diversity and demonstrates commitment to environmental sustainability and public health protection practices. Vendors must complete several mandatory forms, including a Diversity and Inclusiveness Information Request Form, a Contract Certification Form, and a Vendor Information form. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet technical and compliance requirements. The Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form indicates federal compliance standards for contracts, with potential civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for non-compliance. Although specific budget ranges are not disclosed, vendors are required to submit a total lump sum price for the initial two-year period and potential renewal years. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and waive technical or formal errors, providing flexibility in the procurement process. The ultimate objective is to support the City's Chief Economist and Economic and Data Team in analyzing the sales and use tax base and developing future revenue projections through comprehensive, anonymized consumer spending data.
