Notice of Special Procurement for Expanded Electronic Vehicle Registration Services

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), specifically its Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV), is pursuing a Special Procurement to expand Electronic Vehicle Registration (EVR) services through a Request for Application (RFA) process. This procurement aims to extend and broaden the existing EVR program by allowing participation from out-of-state dealers, financial institutions, and high-volume business customers beyond the current limitation of Oregon-certified dealers. The key objective is to increase vehicle-related services available through the EVR program and establish a more comprehensive registration system. ODOT plans to issue an RFA and award multiple contracts, with the ability to periodically reopen the application process based on business needs and DMV resources. The special procurement notice was posted on September 18, 2024, with a protest period of seven calendar days from the first public notice date. Interested parties must submit written protests that include legal and factual grounds, a description of potential harm, and specific relief requested.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The expanded EVR program will allow a broader range of organizations to participate, including out-of-state dealers and financial institutions that meet specific qualification requirements. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documents, the procurement represents a significant expansion of the existing EVR program, with a proposed contract term extension of 15 additional years. The solicitation indicates ODOT will use a competitive application process to evaluate and select multiple vendors, suggesting a potentially substantial market opportunity for qualified applicants. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documents, and details about existing technology infrastructure are not comprehensively described. Potential respondents should carefully review the full Request for Application (RFA) documents to understand the precise qualifications, service expectations, and evaluation criteria for participation in the expanded Electronic Vehicle Registration program.
