DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Austin, Texas seeks a vendor to provide advanced funds disbursement services. The selected provider will be responsible for creating, processing, and distributing money orders via regular or special mail, and for wiring funds for pickup by clients or responsible parties at a statewide network of locations including grocery stores and banks.
Vendors must establish and maintain relationships necessary for a broad statewide presence, ensuring the public has access to cashing money orders and payment wires at accessible locations. Control mechanisms must be implemented to ensure payments are processed accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, the provider should utilize a financial management system that can track, compile, record, and maintain payment processing data, and must possess adequate hardware, software, internet, and communications infrastructure to support automated services.
The contract duration is one year, and interested vendors should submit all questions by March 12, 2026.
