Request for Information: Remittance Processing Solution

The City of Pittsburgh Office of Management and Budget, on behalf of the Department of Finance, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a remittance processing solution targeting vendors with expertise in comprehensive tax and fee collection systems. The procurement spans multiple jurisdictions including Allegheny County and Pittsburgh City, with the primary objective of developing an advanced technological solution for processing various municipal tax remittances. Specific documentation suggests the system must accommodate complex tax processing requirements including Amusement Tax, Institution and Service Privilege Tax, Parking Tax, Payroll Expense Tax, Local Services Tax, and Non-Resident Sports Facility Usage Fee processing. The RFI appears focused on identifying vendors capable of managing intricate data formats, supporting multiple tax calculation methodologies, and providing robust reporting capabilities. The Request for Information was posted on May 20, 2025, with a response deadline of April 23, 2025, indicating a relatively compressed timeline for vendor submissions. Potential respondents should demonstrate technical capabilities in handling diverse tax calculation rates, managing detailed transaction documentation, and integrating with existing municipal financial systems.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement suggests a preference for technologically sophisticated vendors with proven experience in municipal financial processing systems. The RFI implies potential integration requirements with existing City of Pittsburgh financial infrastructure, particularly around tax collection and remittance tracking. The attached documents, such as the data format specification (Question_4_LS-1_Data_Format.txt), indicate complex technical requirements that would likely favor vendors with advanced data management and processing capabilities. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, and while no explicit budget range is provided, the complexity of the required solution suggests a significant technological investment. The City of Pittsburgh's Finance Department will likely conduct a comprehensive evaluation of vendor capabilities, with particular emphasis on system flexibility, data security, reporting accuracy, and seamless integration with existing municipal financial workflows.
