Systemwide Cashiering Services

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System is soliciting proposals for a systemwide cashiering and payment management solution under solicitation number SRC-MNSCU-2027-000632-RFP. The objective is to implement a secure, scalable SaaS-based solution to handle payment processing, reconciliation, and reporting across online, mobile, in-person, and auxiliary operations for multiple colleges, universities, and the system office. A primary requirement is the seamless integration with Workday Financial Management and Workday Student, ensuring Workday remains the authoritative system of record. The solution must adhere to strict security and regulatory standards, including PCI DSS, SOC 2, and FERPA. The resulting contract is intended to be five years in length, starting in December 2026, with five optional one-year renewals. Proposals are due by October 29, 2026, and will be evaluated using a weighted point system, with potential oral presentations and demonstrations scheduled for early November 2026. Bidders must provide a detailed cost proposal covering merchant-processing fees, online payment-gateway fees, and equipment costs. Required submission documentation includes an Affidavit of Non-Collusion, Affirmative Action declarations, and a reference spreadsheet. All submissions must be made exclusively through the Minnesota State e-procurement system.
