The incumbent is Prevention Research Institute, Inc. There are no SDVOB, MBE, WBE, or DBE goals stated.

The scope requires development of a fully standardized, evidence-based 16-hour classroom course delivered over seven weeks to approximately 20,000 participants annually through a network of roughly 58 IDP course providers and 300 instructors. Deliverables include curriculum guide, instructor guide, participant workbook, and audio/visual materials in both English and Spanish, ready by July 5, 2027. The contractor must administer quarterly in-person instructor training for approximately 300 existing instructors and roughly 75 new instructors annually, with biannual continuing education. All training materials and instruction are provided at no cost to DMV, course providers, instructors, and DMV-designated observers. The contractor must submit monthly compliance reports, annual activity reports, and a comprehensive program effectiveness study no later than 18 months before contract expiration, plus develop a plan for periodic pre/post-course survey analysis.

Qualification requirements include at least three years of verifiable experience providing the proposed curriculum as part of a state's official impaired driving program within ten years prior to the IFB issuance, and demonstration that the curriculum is evidence-based with independently reviewed and validated research. The contractor must have no financial or proprietary interest in any certified New York-based IDP Course Provider or OASAS-credentialed clinical provider.

Compensation is based solely on per-workbook pricing; bidders must propose a per-workbook price not to exceed $20.00 in whole dollar amounts. The bid price is net and includes all costs, delivery, and standard shipping. The contract term is two years from final approval by the Office of State Comptroller and New York State Attorney General, with DMV reserving the right to extend for up to three additional one-year terms. Award notification is anticipated January 19, 2027. Questions were due October 26, 2026, with responses provided November 18, 2026.
