About this opportunity

Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) and Choice Partners (CP) have issued a Request for Proposals (RFP #25/041SG) seeking vendors to provide comprehensive Payables Solutions, Purchasing Card Programs, and Related Services for public sector and nonprofit entities. The solicitation targets vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure payment platforms that include capabilities such as ACH and B2B payment automation, virtual payments, corporate and purchasing cards, and expense management software. The RFP seeks to establish one or more contracts with vendors who can offer innovative financial management tools that maximize purchasing efficiency and optimize supplier engagement. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a 100-point system, with points allocated as follows: price (40 points), vendor reputation (20 points), quality of goods/services (25 points), financial capability (5 points), past relationship with HCDE/CP (5 points), and marketing plan (5 points). The initial contract term will be one year, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. Proposals are due on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with an anticipated award date of Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Vendors must submit comprehensive pricing information, including discount schedules and potential price adjustments. The contract will include an administrative fee structure of 0.05% on banking transactions and 2% for other services, which will be paid by the vendor. The procurement is structured to support entities of varying sizes, from small local governments to large educational institutions, with a focus on flexibility, security, and comprehensive financial management tools. While specific award values are not detailed in the available documentation, the broad scope and multi-year potential suggest a significant contract opportunity. The RFP emphasizes compliance with public sector regulations and seeks vendors who can demonstrate robust financial capabilities, technological innovation, and a proven track record in providing payment and financial management solutions to governmental and nonprofit organizations.
