The General Services Administration (GSA) Center for Charge Card Management (CCCM) has a requirement for the potential development of a pilot project under the authority of GSAM Part 571 – Pilot Program For Innovative Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)). This potential pilot project may assess the feasibility of an innovative charge card and commercial payments platform designed to leverage commercial best practices, integrated technology, and financial controls of current innovative and enhanced spend management tools.

end-to-end commercial payments platform with associated products, services, and systems. Selected partner(s) will be required to provide all associated services for charge card and commercial payments management for a subset of GSA’s internal purchase, travel, and fleet business lines including, but not limited to, issuance, commercial payment systems, fraud analytics, data mining, and information security. This pilot will not encompass the entire GSA SmartPay program. Rather, GSA will require the contractor(s) to establish accounts and/or payment solutions for a subset of GSA’s own internal agency purchase, travel, and fleet transactions. GSA will apply a statistical sample of its FY25 accounts (as shown in the tables of Section 1.4 Current Environment below) at a 95% confidence interval. The accounts used for the pilot will be determined by GSA and provided to the contractor(s) after award. The goal of this project – through the CSO authority cited in Section 1.1 Authority – is to explore solutions for a more competitive, flexible, and innovative environment in order to help inform the future of the GSA SmartPay® program requirements, and to help ensure the program remains effective and adaptable to evolving government needs. This includes considering commercially available solutions from innovative offerors who may not already do business with the government.

The GSA SmartPay 3 master contracts are held by two commercial issuing banks, enabling current customers to access commercial charge card and payment solutions through task orders issued off a multi-agency, multiple award indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract structure. While payment solutions and services available under the GSA SmartPay 3 master contract have supported customer missions, GSA believes there is more innovation available in the marketplace today that is not currently available in the government payment space, such as: ? Unified platform access ? Real-time automated spend management ? Automatic expense categorization ? Advanced machine learning algorithms ? Real-time insights and reporting ? Hands-free expense reconciliation ? Advanced spend analytics (e.g., artificial intelligence-driven)

• The objective of this pilot project is to obtain innovative solutions that provide products, services, and systems for a subset of GSA’s purchase, travel, and fleet transactions only. The awarded contract(s) will not support government-wide GSA SmartPay program requirements
• The commercial products, services, and systems solutions submitted in response to this solicitation are expected to leverage innovation of approach, integrated technology such as artificial intelligence for process efficiency and business intelligence, positive user experience and financial controls to help detect and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of payment solutions
