Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA) has CANCELLED this Request for Information (RFI) for Charge Card and Commercial Payments demonstrations. GSA is making a strategic shift to prioritize accelerating the government-wide transition to the next generation of the GSA SmartPay program. This RFI, originally seeking industry demonstrations for commercial payment solutions, is no longer active. The original response date for questions was April 18, 2025.
Original Purpose & Scope
Prior to its cancellation, this RFI was issued for market research purposes, following up on a previous RFI (47QRAB25N0002). GSA sought demonstrations from industry partners highlighting capabilities in commercial charge card and payment-related services for the GSA SmartPay® program, which serves approximately 250 federal agencies and handles nearly $40 billion annually. Demonstrations were to cover company overviews, applicable offerings (Purchase, Travel, Fleet), innovation, technology approach, and system capabilities for account management, transaction management, invoice management, and reporting.
Original Demonstration Details
Demonstrations were to be conducted virtually via WebEx, with each industry partner allotted a maximum of 60 minutes. GSA reserved the right to not view demonstrations or end them early if presenters deviated from the allotted time or specified topics. The invitation to attend demonstrations was extended to government-wide Agency/Organization Program Coordinators (AOPCs).
Clarifications from Q&A (Prior to Cancellation)
Consolidated questions and answers, posted April 21, 2025, clarified that GSA would not extend RFI timeframes, that participation was open to any viable interested party (not just prior respondents), and that GSA would protect proprietary information. Demonstrations did not need to address all listed topics if a company lacked those capabilities, as GSA was open to all commercial solutions.
