About this opportunity
The Illinois State Board of Education is seeking a vendor to provide an agency travel credit card and related services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation number 25-586SBE-FINAN-B-46817. The procurement aims to establish a commercial travel and transportation payment system that will issue charge cards exclusively for official state government travel and lodging expenses. Qualified vendors must be accredited financial institutions capable of providing a comprehensive travel card system with mandatory requirements including worldwide card acceptance, detailed monthly reporting, emergency card replacement, fraud prevention procedures, and 24/7 customer service. Bids must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system by May 22, 2025, with firm pricing valid for 180 days from the opening date. The state will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, responsibility, and lowest overall total price, with potential preference given to products manufactured in the United States. Bidders must electronically submit required documents such as Vendor Disclosure, Offer to the State of Illinois, and Business Enterprise Program/Veterans Small Business Program Utilization Plan.
The solicitation appears to have set-aside considerations for business enterprises, specifically highlighting opportunities for veteran-owned and small businesses. Potential bidders who hire qualified veterans and certain ex-offenders may be eligible for tax credits. The contract has an initial term through June 30, 2034, with a maximum total contract term of ten years and an estimated annual dollar value of $330,000 running through the travel card system. The vendor will generate most revenues from card contractor revenues at no direct cost to the State of Illinois. Importantly, the card system is restricted and cannot include cash advances, retail purchases, or other restricted merchandise. The state reserves the right to amend the solicitation, reject any or all bids, and make awards based on the most advantageous proposal that meets state needs and complies with procurement regulations. An administrative fee of $15 will be deducted from the first contract payment, and the procurement may be partially or totally funded with federal funds.
Opportunity text
The Agency intends to contract with one vendor to provide a travel credit card for the Agency. These cards will be utilized to pay for State authorized travel/lodging. The Agency shall maintain liability for the purchases on the card.
