Division of Public Assistance - Electronic Benefit Transfer Services

Title:  Western States Electronic Benefit Transfer Alliance (WESA) / Alaska Electronic Benefit Transfer

Location:  Statewide

Department of Health, Division of Public Assistance

The State of Alaska intends to enter into contract with FIS through the Lead State of Colorado's solicitation and response efforts.  The successful offeror, FIS and the State of Alaska will enter into the next contract to continue Electronic Benefit Transfer services for Alaskan recipients, as well as direct deposit services for the Department's SNAP, WIC and cash program recipients, including disaster benefit services.

The State of Colorado acts as the lead procurement State for the Alliance.  The current Alaska EBT contract will expire July 31, 2023, and a new contract will be established to maintain uninterrupted, linear services thereafter, for Alaskan recipients.  The Western States EBT Alliance consists of Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Territory of Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Nebraska, Wyoming and Washington, which affords Alaska to obtain lower competitive EBT pricing.

For comments or concerns regarding the State's intent to enter into a new contract with FIS, who is also the current incumbent, please contact the procurement officer listed below, by Thursday, March 9, 2023.
