Proprietary Contract for the Motorcycle Training Program Database with Management Systems Inc.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) is executing a sole-source proprietary contract with Management Systems Inc. for continuation of Motorcycle Training Program Database services, with a response or acceptance deadline of August 25, 2026. The sole-source justification rests on Management Systems Inc.'s exclusive ownership and licensing rights to the Database system.

The scope is software-as-a-service (SaaS) web-based database management tracking motorcycle safety course curriculum, student information, instructor credentials, and training data across motorcycle schools nationwide. The Database supports schools and instructors in maintaining certifications with multiple curriculum developers and enables TDLR to assess and monitor school and instructor credentialing for public safety compliance.

TDLR transitioned the Motorcycle Safety Program from the Department of Public Safety on September 1, 2020, and has utilized Management Systems Inc.'s Database services as the incumbent since November 2021. The proprietary purchase memorandum, dated August 10, 2026 and signed by Director of Administration Rose Wheeler, authorizes continuation based on the assertion that Management Systems Inc. is the sole vendor capable of providing these specialized services and that continued use will ensure service consistency and maintain qualified professional standards.

The source does not disclose contract term, pricing, renewal options, funding amount, or budget source.
