The current GSA SmartPay® 2 Master Contracts expires on November 29, 2018. The future program is referred to as GSA SmartPay 3 or “SP3”.  Citibank and U.S. Bank were awarded contracts for GSA SmartPay3. 

As a Program Coordinator, you will need to:

  • Coordinate the issuance of new payment solutions
  • Oversee the reconciliation and close-out of old accounts
  • Coordinate IT resources and system testing to be sure the SP3 contractor’s system “talks” to the agency’s system
  • Work with others in their agencies (e.g., finance, contracting, IT) to determine needs and develop requirements
  • Obtain additional resources or funding to support the transition, as needed

The Center for Charge Card Management would like to pass along some tips to consider when developing your GSA SmartPay 3 (SP3) Task Order (TO) level requirements.  

  • Tip 1:  Familiarize yourself with the SP3 Transition Documents.  These documents include the Needs Assessment Tool, TO Type Tool, TO Guide, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), "Choose Your Brand" video, and an A/OPC Information Technology (IT) Quick Reference, among others.   
  • Tip 2:  Familiarize yourself with the SP3 Master Contract and review the Master Contract Updates Quick Sheet.  Many Tier 2 product / services found in SmartPay 2 (SP2) are now included as Tier 1 products / services under SP3.  Sections C.3.1.1 and C.3.1.2 of the master contracts detail which products / services fall under each tier.  Bump TO level requirements up against these sections to ensure products and services are classified correctly in your TO.      
  • Tip 3:   Avoid restating master contract requirements in the TO level documents.  Instead cross reference to the master contract requirements by section, as needed.  
  • Tip 4:  Use definitions and terminology found in the master contract.  Using terminology and definitions inconsistent with the master contract can result in misunderstandings during contract performance.  If your agency uses another term for an SP3 product / service, please be sure to cross reference the meaning to the appropriate SP3 term.  
  • Tip 5:  Fair Opportunity.  All TO requirements should be written such that any SP3 master contract holder can understand and propose on the requirements. This falls under "Fair Opportunity" as defined by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 16.505(b)(2) and as found in Section H.12.1 of the master contract.  

To assist with the transition process, the Center for Charge Card Management is offering a variety of tools located under Resources.
