Request for proposal to operated an Automatic Teller Machine at the campus of the Caswell Developmental Center in Kinston NC.

The State of North Carolina, through its Property Office on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services, is soliciting proposals from banking and financial institutions to provide and operate an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at the Caswell Developmental Center in Kinston, North Carolina. The solicitation, identified as SPO-54-6D33, requires proposers to lease approximately 120 square feet of space on the campus at 2415 W. Vernon Avenue, with the facility provided “as is” and all associated improvements, installations, and up-fits to be funded entirely by the proposer. The contract will have a minimum initial term of three years, with renewal possible by mutual agreement, and payment will be structured as an annual flat-rate rent in Year 1, with mandatory annual increases of at least 2% beginning in Year 2; any rental structure based on uncapped indices such as the CPI is prohibited. All financial transactions and rental payments must be made monthly, due by the 10th of each month, with late payments subject to interest and a 5% fee if delinquent beyond 90 days. Proposers must demonstrate sufficient funds, proven ability to execute the proposal, and the desirability of how their operation complements the Caswell Center’s overall mission. The selection will be based on the best interest of the State, considering factors including timeliness, prior performance, and maintenance of the site. Comprehensive insurance coverage is required, including general liability with limits of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, product liability of $1 million per person, workers’ compensation, and automobile liability—all with the State of North Carolina named as an additional insured and with 30 days’ written notice required prior to cancellation. The lessee must indemnify the State against all claims arising from ATM operations, shutdowns, or any activity on the premises, and bear full cost for all security measures. Compliance with local, state, and federal laws is mandatory, and corporate entities must maintain active registration with the North Carolina Secretary of State. The ATM cannot be used for commercial advertising by the proposer, and external signage is permitted only with approval from the center manager. Electronic submission through the NC eProcurement Portal is mandatory by July 8, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET, with failure to follow formatting, naming, or submission rules leading to rejection.
