From the meeting
At its September 23, 2026 meeting, the college discussed new controls for student vendor cards tied to statewide grants. Staff said Target and Uber cards would not be allowed because there was no internal control, while other cards would be expanded for a year or a semester until controls are figured out. The change affects Free College, EOPS, CalWORKs, NextUp, and Project Change and is a live compliance issue tied to grant-funded student support.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Canada College's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
