VINTelligence- R. L. Polk & Co

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) in Leon County is seeking to enter into a single source purchase agreement for VINTelligence, a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verification software application developed and operated by R.L. Polk & Co (operating as S&P Global Mobility). The software decodes and validates VINs for passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, trailers, and motorcycles, identifying vehicle specifications including make, year, model, trim level, and engine details through either VIN or license plate number input. The proposed contract term is three years, with the posting date of March 16, 2026 and a deadline for vendor information submission of April 3, 2026. The procurement is classified under UNSPSC code 43232701 for application server software, with the Information Systems Administration division serving as the requesting entity. No site visits or bidder conferences are scheduled for this opportunity. The primary contact for inquiries is Katie Downey, with Megan Sunday identified as the Business Manager.

This procurement is designated as a single source purchase, which restricts competition to R.L. Polk & Co, the exclusive developer and authorized maintainer of the VINTelligence software. The justification for this sole source acquisition centers on the proprietary nature of the solution, the absence of authorized resellers, and R.L. Polk & Co's exclusive authorization to perform maintenance and software updates. The FLHSMV's previous utilization of the Polk VIN decoder product, which is deeply integrated into the Department's existing vehicle credentialing applications, further supports the single source determination due to system integration requirements and operational continuity. The estimated contract value for the three-year procurement is $152,600.00. The vendor location is listed as 26533 Evergreen Road, Suite 1100, Southfield, Michigan 48076.
