The General Services Administration has issued a request for proposals on the third iteration of its governmentwide acquisition contract vehicle for charge cards and other payment services.
GSA said Thursday it expects approximately 560 agency clients and organizations to use the SmartPay 3 GWAC to procure fleet, travel, chip-based charge cards, virtual accounts and other payment support services.
Contracts awarded through the SmartPay 3 program will run through Nov. 28, 2021 and could extend to 2031 if all options are exercised.
The SmartPay program processed approximately $28 billion in purchase, fleet and travel transactions in fiscal 2016.
GSA said in a FedBizOpps notice that it plans to award fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts through the SmartPay 3 program prior to the expiration of SmartPay 2 contracts on Nov. 29, 2018.
The agency will accept proposals through March 22.
