ILSOS DMV Solution

The Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) is seeking a comprehensive turnkey Drivers and Vehicles Modernization (DMV) solution through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). The procurement involves acquiring a commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) DMV software system that meets mandatory and desirable requirements for modernizing driver services and vehicle operations. Key deliverables include a fully integrated system capable of processing approximately 1.9 million new vehicle registrations, 250,000 new driver's licenses, and 8.4 million vehicle registration renewals annually. The solution must support Real ID compliance, electronic document submission, customer portals, e-titling, automated renewal services, and comprehensive vehicle management capabilities. Vendors must demonstrate implementation of comparable solutions in at least one state-level DMV environment of similar size within the last 5 years. The pre-submission conference is scheduled for March 10, 2025, with proposals due by April 9, 2025. The initial contract term is 36 months with seven one-year renewal options, not to exceed 10 years total, and implementation is expected to be completed within 36 months, with the Driver's portion requiring 12-18 months and the Vehicle's portion requiring an additional 12-18 months.

The RFP includes a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal of 14% for businesses owned by minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. Bidders must either meet the entire goal through self-performance as a certified BEP firm, subcontract with BEP certified vendors, or submit a Good Faith Effort request for a waiver. The current system infrastructure involves 826 COBOL programs, 282 CICS, 559 DB2 tables, and processes around 30 million website visits annually, which the new solution must integrate with and modernize. The system must support integration with existing IBM mainframe systems, multiple database types, and third-party services including AAMVA, LEADS 3.0, and payment processors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the current system handles approximately $2.5 million in vehicle-related revenue and $149 million in driver-related revenue, suggesting a substantial contract value. Technical requirements mandate compliance with security standards such as FedRAMP, NIST, CMMC, and SOC 2 Type II, with performance expectations including high transaction throughput, dynamic scaling, and comprehensive security monitoring.
