Secure Payment Gateway Integration

The contract requires the design and implementation of a PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateway capable of securely processing credit and debit card transactions as well as ACH payments. This system must meet the highest industry standards for data security and transaction integrity, ensuring sensitive financial information is handled in full compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. The gateway must seamlessly integrate with two existing financial systems—Aumentum version 8.6.10 and Harris Collectware—establishing reliable, real-time data interchange while maintaining operational continuity and minimizing disruptions to current workflows. The project is structured as a subcontract under the Treasurer’s Office of South Carolina with a NAICS code of 518210, indicating it falls within the data processing, hosting, and related services category. The solicitation was posted on April 24, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses set for May 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. No set-aside provisions or specific geographic performance location details are provided, but the system will operate within the state’s financial infrastructure. The focus is on delivering a robust, audit-ready solution that ensures secure, scalable, and compliant payment processing across multiple transaction types while aligning with legacy systems already in use by the agency.
