- Description
- Performance Work Statement United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Verification Division (VER) propose to enter into a sole source Firm-Fixed Price contract for the Records and Information from DMVs for E-Verify (RIDE) program, in accordance with the Performance Work Statement, entitled Records and Information from DMVs for E-Verify (RIDE) Support, as supplemented with additional information in this notice. The contract will be awarded to AAMVA. Market research was previously conducted and it has been determined that this is a sole source requirement. This sole source contract dictates that the program will require the current capabilities and infrastructure needed to maintain connectivity to current and future jurisdictions. This action is being taken pursuant to FAR 6.302-1. AAMVA is the only entity that access to and the management of the Department of Transportation's Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) infrastructure required to support USCIS in its goal of supporting and expanding the RIDE program. This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. All interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide timely and effective services within two (2) days of this publication. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. Justification: Services required are available from only one source and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research was conducted and through its investigation; USCIS, VER has confirmed that infrastructure support offerings associated with the Department of Transportation's Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS), "which is a system that permits jurisdictions to search the National Driver Register (NDR) where an individual's driver status and history information is stored" is only offered, developed and maintained by the National Driver Register organization, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), with whom AAMVA has a cooperative agreement. USCIS, VER market research confirms that only AAMVA can provide USCIS with new state connectivity via the PDPS infrastructure. AAMVA is solely responsible for managing aspects of the infrastructure that enables jurisdictions to share driver's license and state ID data. No other entity or aggregate of entities is in a position to leverage so much established capabilities, knowledge, or business expertise. No other organization provides the key support needed for RIDE to be successful, namely real-time access to state data, the infrastructure needed to permit this access in a secure manner, and pre-existing relationships states, needed to facilitate state participation. Any questions regarding this acquisition should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Sylwia Salkic at (802) 872-4134 or email: Sylwia.Salkic@uscis.dhs.gov
