AAMVA State-to-State Verification Services

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is proceeding with a single-source procurement to acquire AAMVA’s State-to-State Verification Services under solicitation number FLHSMV-SS-004-27, with a response deadline of August 19, 2026, and an intended award date following the evaluation period. The contract, which spans three years from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2029, is justified under Florida Statutes as AAMVA is the exclusive provider of the federally mandated State-to-State (S2S) Verification System, which enables secure, real-time electronic exchange of driver license and identification data across states to enforce the REAL ID Act’s “one driver, one license” requirement. The service is critical for maintaining compliance with federal regulations and ensuring accurate Florida driver records through AAMVA’s State Pointer Exchange Services and Driver History Record functionality, with performance fully conducted within Florida via electronic access. The estimated contract value is up to $3,000,000, though no detailed line-item pricing is provided, and no competitive evaluation factors are applicable due to the sole-source nature of the acquisition. The procurement relies on AAMVA’s proprietary system, and no other vendors can provide a comparable service, triggering mandatory state reporting under Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C. The point of contact for the contract is Katie Downey, with Stephanie Sanford serving as the Procurement Administrator, while Henry Rivera acts as the requestor from the Bureau of Records. No physical delivery, packaging, or marking requirements apply since this is a digital service, and no formal inspection criteria beyond compliance with federal law and AAMVA system specifications are outlined. The contract does not include standard clauses, attachments, or representations typically found in federal procurements, and no funding details such as TAS or ACRN lines are specified, though an agency code of 570fa5ff is referenced. Invoicing methods, payment offices, and submission formats are not defined in the documentation, leaving procedural details to be governed by internal FLHSMV policies.
