RFP- Credit Card Services

The Burke County Board of Commissioners in Georgia is issuing a Request for Proposals to procure corporate credit card services from qualified financial institutions. The selected vendor shall provide a credit card program designated for the Board of Commissioners with the County Manager serving as the responsible official, structured to ensure the arrangement does not impact the Manager's personal credit history. The card must feature a fixed credit limit of exactly $25,000 with no provision for increases, transaction limit capabilities for individual purchases or users, and flexible monthly billing terms with payments due either 45 to 60 days after the statement date or within 30 days of online invoice access. Deliverables and required program features include a secure web-based portal providing real-time or near real-time transaction viewing, monthly statements and supporting documentation, electronic payment capabilities via ACH (preferred) or equivalent methods, comprehensive fraud protection and zero-liability coverage, and the ability to issue a minimum of three physical cards tied to a single account sharing the same card number and account name. Proposals must include company overview information, detailed descriptions of the credit card program and platform, complete fee structures and interest rates, billing terms, and comprehensive descriptions of online access and payment capabilities, with optional preference for downloadable transaction data in CSV or Excel format. The RFP deadline for proposal submission is June 3, 2026 at 12:00 PM, with proposals to be submitted to Michael Wiseman, CFO, at the Burke County Board of Commissioners office in Waynesboro, Georgia. Burke County has explicitly stated it is not interested in implementing a purchasing card (P-card) system at this time.

The RFP documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. No existing infrastructure, technology integration requirements, or current contractor relationships are identified in the procurement documentation. Similarly, the RFP does not provide contract term length, renewal options, or an explicit award value or budget range; however, the fixed credit limit requirement of $25,000 suggests this scope. Interested vendors should note that proposals are due by June 3, 2026, and the County prefers direct service provision or clarity regarding any partner network arrangements through which services may be delivered.
