BMV RFI - Mobile Driver's License

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), under the Ohio Department of Public Safety, is seeking proposals through a solicitation titled "BMV RFI - Mobile Driver's License" to support the deployment of ISO 18013-5 compliant Mobile IDs. The initiative aims to enable Ohio residents to provision Mobile IDs within their native wallet applications, facilitating a modernized and secure method of digital identification. To achieve this, the BMV plans to deploy specialized hardware devices at remote Deputy Registrar and Title Office locations across Ohio. These devices will utilize Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to prompt mobile devices for Mobile ID presentation, validate the authenticity of the IDs, and transmit the verification results via USB connection to a Windows application or web browser for further processing. The project is expected to have a contract value ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, emphasizing a significant investment in modernizing the state's identification infrastructure. The solicitation was posted on July 2, 2024, with responses due by July 18, 2024. Interested vendors can find additional details and submit responses through the Ohio Buys procurement portal. This initiative reflects Ohio's commitment to leveraging secure digital identification technology to enhance the efficiency and security of identity verification processes at state offices.
