About this file
This is a Solicitation Evaluation Criteria document for solicitation number 124065 O5 issued by the State of Nebraska for the Opportunity for Nebraska: Reducing Emissions and Decarbonization Program (ONE RED) administered through the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy and Environment (NDWEE). The solicitation seeks proposals to develop and implement a carbon intensity (CI) scores data bank and associated grants program designed to promote adoption of CI scores as a key performance metric for crops and agricultural land management. The project will simultaneously establish community-based programs to encourage regenerative agriculture practices and provide financial incentives to farmers for acquiring precision agriculture technology. The solicitation opened on February 23, 2026, and requires responses to address mandatory requirements including corporate overview, technical response, completed cost sheet, solicitation sections II through IV, and a signed contractual agreement form.
Evaluation of responsive proposals will be conducted across three primary categories: Corporate Overview (25 points), Technical Response (65 points), and Cost (10 points), for a total of 100 points, with an optional additional 20 points available for vendor demonstrations, bringing the maximum possible score to 120 points. Cost points will be awarded based on cost realism and reasonableness using a comparative formula in which the lowest realistic cost submitted receives the maximum 10 points, with all other costs scored proportionally using the ratio of lowest cost to submitted cost multiplied by the maximum cost points available. Responses failing to meet any mandatory requirements may be deemed non-responsive and excluded from further evaluation.
