AAMVA Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) Services

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is pursuing a single source purchase with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) for the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) Services. This procurement is not a traditional bid or proposal, but a mandated contract to maintain a nationwide commercial driver license information exchange system. The contract will span three years, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2028, with a total estimated value of $2,638,674.75. The primary objective is to facilitate cooperative exchange of commercial driving information between entities responsible for issuing Commercial Driver Licenses (CDLs), ensuring each driver nationwide maintains only one driver's license and one driving record. The CDLIS system is critical for compliance with federal mandates, including the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 and the Real ID Act, which require electronic verification of driver credentials and Social Security numbers. The contract is specifically for Leon County, Florida, and the submission deadline is May 22, 2025.

This procurement is a sole source contract with AAMVA, which has been the designated operator of CDLIS since January 2, 1989, and is the exclusive provider of AAMVAnet—the network for accessing CDLIS and the Social Security On-Line Verification (SSOLV) system. No alternative vendors are being considered due to federal requirements and AAMVA's unique technical infrastructure. The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The existing technological infrastructure will leverage AAMVA's established electronic verification system, which will integrate with state motor vehicle agency systems nationwide. The total contract value of $2,638,674.75 represents the budgeted amount for the three-year term, covering system access, maintenance, and ongoing information exchange services. This procurement is specifically designed to meet federal compliance requirements and maintain a standardized, secure commercial driver license information network.
