Required data elements include SCAC codes, USDOT operating numbers, proof of insurance, performance bonds, Unique Entity Identifiers, FMCSA safety ratings and CSA compliance, hazmat certifications, power unit counts, broker fraud indicators, SAM.gov Excluded Parties List crosschecks, and small business status verification.

Solutions must rely on legally accessible commercial data sources without requiring new federal data sharing agreements and must comply with DoD cybersecurity requirements including RMF, FedRAMP Moderate/High for cloud solutions, zero trust architecture, and Privacy Act requirements.
