DMV credential consulting services

The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) is seeking a credential consulting services contractor to develop a comprehensive scope of work for transitioning from an on-demand credential production system to a central issuance model. The solicitation requires a qualified contractor to serve as a subject matter expert in designing a turnkey solicitation for future credential production and issuance. The contract will span 28 months, divided into four distinct periods: months 1-6, months 7-12, months 13-24, and months 25-28. Mandatory qualifications include a minimum of five years of experience with motor vehicle organizations, three previous projects of one-year duration for motor vehicle agencies, three projects involving credential production, two projects drafting scopes of work, and five years of experience with American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) requirements and standards. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 8, 2021, at 10:00 AM via web conference, with questions due by July 9, 2021, at 10:00 AM. Offers must be submitted online by July 27, 2021, at 10:00 AM, with award notification planned for August 10, 2021, and a contract start date of August 20, 2021.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contractor will be expected to spend 50-60 percent of time on-site during the initial six-month scope of work development phase and 20-30 percent on-site during the subsequent 20-month consultant phase. A non-negotiable non-disclosure agreement must be executed prior to performing work, and the contractor will be excluded from submitting proposals in future solicitations related to services performed under this contract. The contractor will invoice the State monthly with a 30-day payment term, and no sales tax should be included in pricing. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract involves pricing for four distinct line items representing consulting services across different project phases. The solicitation emphasizes the need for a highly experienced contractor with deep expertise in motor vehicle credential processing and industry standards.
