DESCRIPTION

A New Jersey public entity is seeking a vendor to provide a hosted online tax sales solution for conducting tax lien sales. The platform must allow the public to view tax lien sale line items free of charge without requiring registration, membership, or payment. It must also provide detailed online instructions, support for electronic form access and submission such as W-9s and bidder information sheets, and immediate online display of winning bids once the auction is complete.

The requested solution must include bidder and municipal support features such as a help desk available through the internet, email, and at least one toll-free number, as well as a dedicated telephone hotline for Tax Collector use through the completion of each sale. The vendor must also provide web-based training, online tutorials, a practice bidding method for users, and in-person training for municipalities that includes a working demonstration of the system.

In addition, the platform must support electronic transfer of information and data to and from the municipality, including real-time Tax Collector access to update and remove tax lien sale listings. The system must maintain a transaction log showing bid submissions, results, and funds transferred, and it must include a standard complaint procedure for both municipalities and bidders with a complaint log available for municipal inspection. The contract term is two years, and questions are due by July 17, 2026.
