About this file
This is a proprietary purchase memorandum issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) approving a sole-source contract for the Motorcycle Training Program Database with Management Systems Inc. The memo, dated August 10, 2026, and signed by Rose Wheeler, Director of Administration, authorizes the continuation of software-as-a-service (SaaS) web-based database services that track motorcycle safety course curriculum, student information, instructor credentials, and training data across motorcycle schools nationwide. The Database enables schools and instructors to maintain certifications with multiple curriculum developers and allows TDLR to assess and monitor school and instructor credentialing. TDLR transitioned the Motorcycle Safety Program from the Department of Public Safety on September 1, 2020, and has utilized Management Systems Inc.'s Database services since November 2021. No specific contract term, renewal options, or response deadlines are identified in the memorandum.
The proprietary purchase authorization is justified on the basis that Management Systems Inc. owns and holds exclusive rights to license the Database system, and continued use will ensure consistency of service to the motorcycle training industry and protect public health and safety by maintaining qualified professional standards. The memorandum does not specify pricing terms, funding amounts, or budget sources. As an incumbent contractor, Management Systems Inc. is the sole vendor capable of providing these specialized services, eliminating the need for competitive bidding under proprietary purchase provisions.

Re: Proprietary Purchase – Motorcycle Training Program Database
Pursuant to Executive Directive Order No. 01-26, this is a memo to the file for the proprietary contract of Motorcycle Training Program Database services with Management Systems Inc.
The current Motorcycle Training Program Database (Database) allows all motorcycle product curriculum courses to be entered as well as other curricula. The Database is used across the nation by all motorcycle schools to track and enter details for classrooms, instructors and course information that allows motorcycles and schools to maintain their certifications with multiple curriculum developers as well as provide tools for the state to appropriately assess a school or instructor’s credentialing.
The existing vendor Management Systems Inc. owns and/or and has the rights to license its Software as a Service (SaaS) web-based motorcycle safety course, student, instructor, and training motorcycle data reporting system which allows providers to report to TDLR, for the motorcycle training program to protect the health and safety of Texans and ensure service by qualified professionals.
For background, the Motorcycle Safety Program transitioned from the Department of Public Safety to TDLR on September 1, 2020 and TDLR has been using the Database services since November 2021.
TDLR confirms the proprietary purchase of this Database service from Management Systems Inc will ensure TDLR provides a consistency of service to the industry.
I approve the request for a proprietary purchase.
Rose Wheeler Director of Administration
