Request for Information - SGO Fraud and Abuse Prevention Services

The South Carolina Department of Revenue is issuing a Request for Information to identify software and services capable of implementing reasonable safeguards to prevent fraud and abuse associated with the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit. The agency is specifically interested in solutions that can detect the misuse of scholarship funds, such as the duplication of awards, and ensure compliance with federal regulations Section 1.25F - 5T(e) and Section 25F(d). This is a pre-solicitation effort for planning purposes and does not constitute a formal offer for procurement or a guarantee of future business. Interested respondents must provide descriptions of available products or platforms, identify necessary state resources for implementation, and suggest market-based pricing structures. Responses must be submitted in native Microsoft Office formats to Matthew Warren by November 9, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST, following a specific email subject line convention. All submissions must clearly mark any proprietary or confidential information to ensure compliance with the South Carolina Freedom of Information Law.
