Kiosk and Retail Pay Services

The Arizona state government, specifically the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) and the Office of Accounts Receivable and Collections (OARC), is seeking a comprehensive kiosk and retail pay services solution to facilitate automated payment options across county jurisdictions statewide. The procurement aims to establish a contract for technology and service providers capable of implementing multiple payment channels for child support payments, overpayments, and billing collections. Key deliverables include developing automated payment systems with robust technological capabilities that can integrate seamlessly with existing government infrastructure. The contract opportunity was posted on November 5, 2021, with a proposal submission deadline of December 3, 2021, indicating a relatively short procurement cycle of approximately four weeks. Potential vendors must demonstrate technical expertise in payment processing, system integration, security protocols, and the ability to provide reliable, user-friendly payment solutions across diverse county locations in Arizona.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be open to qualified technology and payment processing vendors with proven capabilities in government payment systems. The procurement suggests a preference for vendors with experience in public sector payment solutions, particularly those familiar with child support and accounts receivable technologies. No incumbent vendors were identified in the available information, and the contract does not specify precise budget ranges or award values. Potential respondents should anticipate a competitive selection process that will likely evaluate technical capabilities, system reliability, security measures, and cost-effectiveness of proposed payment solutions. Vendors will need to demonstrate their ability to provide statewide coverage, handle high-volume transactions, and ensure secure, efficient payment processing across multiple Arizona counties.
