NIGP 99032: Driver's License Services

NIGP 99032 Driver's License Services is an Item code encompassing the procurement and administration of license training and testing services for municipal workforce development and compliance purposes. State and local governments buy driver's license services primarily through contracted training providers delivering specialized driver credentialing programs — particularly Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) curricula that prepare municipal and public employees for federal motor carrier safety standards and state licensure. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued an Invitation for Bid (ITB) in April 2026 seeking a five-year CDL training program provider to deliver classroom theory, behind-the-wheel instruction, endorsement training, and road testing for city employees, with services required a minimum of twice annually. Issuing bodies under this code include municipalities operating their own transportation fleets and public workforce programs; the activity shown here reflects a single city procurement but signals broader municipal need for compliant, cost-effective driver licensing support rather than in-house training infrastructure.

The recent opportunity is concentrated in Florida, where the City of Palm Bay's solicitation (ITB 37ITB26, response due May 19, 2026) represents the only posting in the available record. Bidders must hold current Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) registration as approved ELDT providers, Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles licensure as commercial driving schools and examiners, three years of documented FMCSA-compliant program experience, and demonstrated road test success rates of 80 percent or higher. The contract requires $1,000,000 per-occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability coverage, $1,000,000 automobile liability coverage, and Florida statutory workers' compensation insurance. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held May 7, 2026 via Microsoft Teams, with written questions due May 13, 2026 and bids due electronically May 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM; the city provided training facilities, vehicles, and driver training areas, leaving the contractor responsible for instructional delivery and student assessment.
