Payables Program and Merchant Services

The government authority in Columbia, MO requires a vendor to provide a comprehensive payables program and merchant services for a three-year contract period. The buyer needs credit card processing and related services across approximately 250 merchant IDs, encompassing complex point-of-sale systems, physical terminals, virtual terminals, mobile applications, and e-commerce platforms. The requested scope includes custom hosted payment pages, excellent customer support, and an advanced commercial card and ePayables platform that integrates with the university's ERP environments. The solution must feature a secure supplier portal, payment optimization, and real-time card management tools requiring university approval for new card issuances. Eligibility restricts participation to USA organizations, and the vendor will perform the work offsite. Interested bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, as the buyer seeks proposal pricing for its budget. Bidders must submit all questions no later than September 10, 2026.
