The American Association Of Motor Vehicle Administrators

The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, that serves as a critical intermediary between state motor vehicle departments and federal agencies. AAMVA specializes in providing data verification, identity proofing, driver record services, and technical support to support federal government operations across multiple agencies and priority initiatives. The organization leverages its established relationships with all 50 states and the District of Columbia to deliver specialized services in transportation safety, commercial driver licensing, digital identity verification, and motor vehicle administration.

AAMVA has maintained an extensive federal contract portfolio encompassing multiple definitive contracts, delivery orders, and purchase orders across diverse federal agencies. The Social Security Administration has awarded AAMVA significant delivery order contracts valued at over $1.17 million and $1.29 million for data verification of driver's licenses and state identification cards supporting the Internet Social Security Number Replacement Cards (ISSNRC) program, with performance extending through October 2026. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has awarded AAMVA a substantial $19.36 million definitive contract for Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) sustainment support and IT services, along with additional purchase orders for AAMVA UNI software licensing valued at approximately $39,000. The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded AAMVA a $22.5 million definitive contract for the Login.gov Source Issuer Verification Solution extending through August 2030, which supports the federal government's digital identity verification infrastructure. The Selective Service System has awarded multiple purchase orders to AAMVA, including contracts for AAMVA services, data services and transmittal, and ethernet access, valued between $13,800 and $29,500. Additionally, AAMVA holds a $1.53 million definitive contract with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for federal user access to CDLIS, and a $5.99 million definitive contract with the Federal Acquisition Service for TTS Source Issuer Verification Services. All of AAMVA's primary contract awards have been firm fixed-price arrangements with no small business set-aside designations, reflecting its established status as a qualified prime contractor capable of managing large-scale federal initiatives.

AAMVA has received substantial federal grant funding through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Commercial Driver's License Program Implementation Grant (CFDA 20.232) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's cooperative agreements. Under the CDLPI grant program, AAMVA has been awarded multiple project grants totaling several million dollars to support Commercial Skills Testing Information Management System (CSTIMS) maintenance and development, including a recent $3.95 million award for fiscal years 2025-2029 and a $3.18 million award for fiscal years 2024-2028. AAMVA has also received grant funding for developing training and learning opportunities for commercial driver's license experts, auditing training programs for the modernized CDL skills test, and creating a learning management system for jurisdictions to address staff turnover and compliance issues. The organization has been awarded grants to build solutions for reporting convictions and withdrawals in exceptional scenarios when timely reporting through CDLIS is not possible. Additional grant awards support AAMVA's delivery of tools and assistance to state driver licensing agencies through CDLIS report generation and distribution, technical assistance for states implementing modernized commercial driver's license skills testing systems, hosting CDL Train the Trainer courses, and creating training materials related to human trafficking detection at driver licensing agencies. AAMVA also received a $708,269 grant to host fiscal year 2024 CDL Coordinator and Information Technology Meetings for state driver licensing agencies. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded AAMVA a cooperative agreement through September 2026 to provide help desk support for the Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS), serving all 50 states and the District of Columbia. AAMVA has sub-granted portions of its funding to entities including Highway Safety Services, LLC and has supported Johns Hopkins University as a sub-grantee on a cooperative agreement involving subject matter expertise and strategic planning.

AAMVA holds two significant indefinite delivery contracts that provide flexible funding vehicles for ongoing federal initiatives. The Social Security Administration awarded AAMVA a $6.37 million single-award indefinite delivery contract on November 1, 2024, for the Internet Social Security Number Replacement Cards (ISSNRC) program, structured with a 12-month base period and four optional 12-month extension periods extending through October 2029. This IDC provides funding for data verification services for driver's licenses and state identification cards, with the initial task order obligating $1.29 million for the base performance period through October 2025 and allowing modifications to accommodate additional transactional volume. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded AAMVA a single-award indefinite delivery contract under the National Enforcement and Justice Service Program IDIQ valued at $7.5 million with a performance period extending through September 2025 for law enforcement traffic safety initiatives, research, education, and addressing emerging issues in traffic safety. Both IDCs were awarded without small business set-aside designations and provide AAMVA with ongoing flexibility to deliver specialized services supporting critical federal identity verification, transportation safety, and commercial driver licensing missions across multiple agencies and program areas.
