Cannabis Business Tax System

The agency is seeking a cannabis business tax system to support all activities required to register taxpayers, process filings and payments, administer accounts, generate notices, support compliance efforts, and produce operational and financial reports. The system must be accessible to taxpayers and agency staff through modern web browsers and must support secure online registration, filing, payment processing, reporting, and administrative functions. The project requires processing of agency cannabis tax payment transactions in a .txt file format for both cash and check payments, importing of lockbox or other remittance files, and identifying exceptions such as mismatched amounts or invalid accounts. The scope of work covers daily reconciling of check and cash activity, monitoring for failed or incomplete transmissions, logging and surfacing of error conditions, and timely resolution of integration-related issues. The system must maintain compatibility with required external systems and provide visibility into interface success, failure, and queue status. The agency also requires accounting system reconciliation reports, including posting summaries transmitted to the agency accounting system, confirmation and variance reports, and unmatched or rejected transactions. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The contract period will be for one year, and the agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 27, 2026, and submit all questions no later than May 28, 2026. Responses must be submitted digitally via email or online.
