St. Louis County is seeking competitive bids for merchant services under Invitation for Bid #2026-05-2271-SM, with proposals due by June 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, submitted exclusively through the County’s Vendor Self Service portal. The contract involves replacing the current payment gateway, deploying related equipment, ensuring PCI DSS compliance, integrating with County systems such as WorkDay, and providing ongoing support for transaction processing, settlement, chargeback management, and fraud prevention. All deliverables, including technical documentation and system outputs, become County property upon full payment, and the work must adhere to ADA and WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, the False Claims Act, and Missouri’s anti-boycott of Israel law. The County will not pay for hardware, setup, or implementation costs; the contractor bears all such expenses. The award will be made to the responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest price, following a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, with M/WBE-certified vendors eligible for a 5% bid discount on contracts under $300,000. Bidders must demonstrate ownership of necessary equipment and personnel, certify compliance with applicable laws, and submit documentation including a W-9, Certificate of Insurance, vendor registration, and financial statements. Contractors must secure prior written approval for all subcontractors, remain fully liable for subcontractor actions, and ensure all personnel comply with County security protocols, including potential background checks. Additional requirements include designating a Relationship Manager available during business hours, maintaining PCI Council-listed P2PE solutions, preventing unauthorized use of sensitive data, and allowing the County to audit records and inspect digital media for up to three years post-performance. The contract prohibits assignment without approval, establishes independent contractor status, caps liability at fees paid, and allows termination for convenience or cause, including lack of funding. All submissions must be electronic, and no paper or faxed proposals will be accepted unless under verified system outage.
