AAMVA State-to-State Verification Services

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is procuring the AAMVA State-to-State Verification Services through a single-source acquisition under solicitation number FLHSMV-SS-004-27, with a proposed contract term spanning three years from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2029. The estimated value of the contract is up to $3,000,000, and the service is essential for complying with the federal REAL ID Act by enabling real-time verification of out-of-state driver licenses and identification cards, ensuring compliance with the one driver, one license mandate. The contract is justified under Florida statutes due to the unique and proprietary nature of AAMVA’s State-to-State Verification Service, which is the only system capable of facilitating secure, standardized data exchange between Florida and 46 participating states through its Central Site and Driver History Record functionality. No competitive solicitation or evaluation factors are applicable, as the acquisition adheres to statutory sole-source provisions and no alternatives exist that can meet the technical and regulatory requirements. Performance will be conducted entirely through electronic data exchange within Florida’s licensing infrastructure, with no physical delivery or packaging requirements specified. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has designated Katie Downey as the primary point of contact for inquiries, with agency operations managed from Tallahassee. The contract does not include detailed line items, option years, cost breakdowns, or specific invoicing methods, nor does it designate a contracting officer’s representative or certify any socioeconomic or size status for the vendor, given the non-competitive nature of the procurement. No formal inspection or acceptance criteria beyond federal compliance are outlined, and no representations, certifications, or security requirements are mandated for the vendor. Submission of responses was due by August 19, 2026, through the state’s electronic procurement portal, with no specified format, page limits, or required documentation beyond the justification for single-source selection.
