Credit Card Payments & Rebates for District Utilities

The Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the use of credit cards for the monthly payment of utility services. The district is seeking information from financial institutions on current practices, fees, available rebate programs, and any other relevant information that can be used to create a future request for proposal for this service. The district's annual utility spend is approximately $41 million, and respondents have until October 25, 2024, to prepare and submit their responses, which should be concise, detailed, and address the requirements outlined in the RFI. WCPSS is not seeking proposals at this time, and this RFI does not commit the district to contracting for any supply. If a solicitation is released, it will be advertised using the State of North Carolina's IPS tool.

The RFI does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or sources. It is solely a request for information to assist WCPSS in developing a future request for proposal for a credit card payment and rebate program for its utility services. No information is provided on any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. Additionally, the RFI does not include any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
