Contract CW43576

The University of Nebraska awarded a non-competitive contract to Centage Corporation, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, for the provision of Planning Maestro collaborative budgeting software. The contract, identified as CW43576, was executed on May 25, 2026, with a contract value of $25,000 and a performance period extending through November 24, 2026. This award represents one component of a larger procurement commitment; a separate purchase order (CW31213) valued at $49,999 was issued concurrently for the preceding 12-month period, bringing the combined total commitment to $74,999. The non-competitive procurement was approved under University of Nebraska Board of Regents Policy 6.2.1.10(f), justified on the basis that the software had been previously configured to meet the University's specific operational requirements and that the contracting organization was engaged in a Request for Proposal process for a replacement system.

The Planning Maestro software deliverable is designed to support collaborative budget planning and organizational alignment within the University's Student Affairs division, with the primary requestor identified as Brian Bollich from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. The service is governed by the University of Nebraska Master Services Agreement, which establishes standard contractual terms including intellectual property ownership vesting with the University, mandatory cyber liability insurance of $10,000,000 minimum coverage, and a maximum agreement duration not to exceed five years with automatic 12-month renewal provisions absent 30 days' written notice of non-renewal.
