Pre-Employment Screening Program

The contract pertains to the Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) mandated by Title 49 of the U.S. Code, section 31150, as part of the SAFETEA-LU legislation. It directs the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to provide electronic access to safety and inspection data from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) for the motor carrier industry, facilitating pre-employment screening. The program aims to deliver driver-related safety and inspection records to motor carriers, industry service providers acting on behalf of carriers or applicants, or to applicants themselves in a timely and professional manner. Access to the data is strictly controlled, allowing release only upon the requester’s attestation that the operator-applicant has provided written or FMCSA-approved electronic consent. This sources-sought solicitation, posted by the Department of Transportation’s Office of Acquisition Management, invites interested parties to engage before the response deadline in late May 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 518210 and is managed out of Washington, DC. Key points of contact for the opportunity are Steve Fuller and Elizabeth Johnson, who can be reached via email for further information. The contract emphasizes compliance with federal data privacy regulations and efficient delivery of the screening service to enhance safety and accountability within the motor carrier industry.
