Automobile Insurance Shopping Access Solution

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is issuing an RFI (Request for Information) numbered 154-27-124146 regarding automobile insurance shopping access solutions through DMV digital channels, with responses due July 31, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST. This is explicitly not a formal solicitation and will not result in a contract award; responses gather product information only to inform potential future IFB or RFP development.

The scope encompasses solutions that provide DMV customers with access to automobile insurance shopping options integrated into DMV digital channels. The RFI explores multiple solution models including static redirects, embedded functionality, hosted platforms, Software-as-a-Service offerings, and API-based integrations. Key areas of inquiry include technical integration requirements, data exchange capabilities, security and compliance certifications (COVRamp or FedRAMP), reporting and analytics functionality, pricing models, revenue-sharing arrangements, customer experience considerations, accessibility standards compliance, and implementation timelines. The RFI encompasses NIGP commodity codes spanning data processing, software development, application services, e-commerce solutions, networking services, and system implementation.

Vendors must address all 22 questions in the RFI and may submit supporting documentation including examples of similar implementations for government or public-sector customers. Responses must be submitted through the eVA portal. Questions regarding the RFI are due to Procurement Officer Tammy Harrison at Tammy.Harrison@dmv.virginia.gov by 2:00 PM EST on July 24, 2026. The Commonwealth notes that no specific contract award timeline, funding amounts, or future solicitation schedule is identified in this RFI, as it is designed to inform the agency's understanding of available industry solutions in support of the Governor's affordability initiatives.
