School District Payment Solutions
Solicitation # RFI261002
Seattle Public Schools is conducting market research through Request for Information RFI261002 to identify a comprehensive school payment solutions system. The district currently uses SchoolPay but is seeking to understand the current K-12 marketplace to potentially replace or enhance its platform for processing student fees, donations, activity payments, and fines. The desired solution must support a decentralized environment where individual schools and departments manage revenue-generating activities while maintaining centralized district oversight and financial controls. Key functional requirements include support for online and in-person payments via credit/debit cards, ACH/eCheck, cash, and checks, as well as tools for daily reconciliation, nightly deposit processing, and audit trails. The district emphasizes strict adherence to security and legal standards, including PCI DSS, FERPA, and WCAG 2.1AA compliance for public portals. Technical requirements include Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication integration with PowerSchool, as well as the provision of a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template. Vendors are asked to provide information on pricing models, implementation approaches, and service level agreements. This RFI was posted on October 8, 2026, with a response deadline of October 22, 2026. It is explicitly stated that this process is for planning and requirements development purposes only and does not obligate the district to award a contract or issue a future procurement.
