AAMVA State-to-State Verification Services

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is entering into a single-source purchase with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) for State-to-State Verification Services, with vendor information due August 19, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement with no competitive solicitation; AAMVA is designated as the exclusive intended source based on its unique maintenance and operation of the S2S system and the absence of known authorized resellers or comparable alternatives.

The scope is online database information retrieval services providing electronic access to state motor vehicle databases through the AAMVA network. The State-to-State Verification Service enables Florida to electronically communicate with other participating states to verify whether applicants for driver licenses or identification cards hold valid credentials in other states, supporting compliance with the federal REAL ID Act and the "one driver, one license" requirement. The service includes the Driver History Record (DHR) feature supporting real-time exchange of driver record information.

The estimated contract value is up to $3 million for a three-year term commencing October 1, 2026 and ending September 30, 2029. AAMVA is located at 4250 Fairfax Drive, Suite 1000, Arlington, Virginia. The point of contact is Katie Downey at the FLHSMV Records Bureau, 2900 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee, Florida 32399. The procurement was approved by Henry Rivera, Chief of the Bureau of Records, and Stephanie Sanford, Procurement Administrator of the Bureau of Purchasing and Contracts.
