2 INTENT TO PROPOSE.docx

The document is an Intent to Propose form for Solicitation Number 122777 O5 issued by the State of Nebraska, specifically the State Purchasing Bureau and Nebraska State Records Board (NSRB). The solicitation seeks a Network Manager to implement, operate, and expand the state's online information Portal, with proposal responses due by October 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contract term is five years, with an option to renew for an additional two years, and a projected start date of April 1, 2026. An Intent to Award is expected on December 11, 2025.

The contract is structured as a revenue-sharing model where the Network Manager will receive 80% of margin service fees, with the NSRB receiving 20%. Potential revenue streams include transaction fees for government services such as driver's license records, corporate filings, vehicle registrations, and court records. The current subscription fee is set at $100.00, with the expectation that the portal will be self-funded through transaction and subscription services without increasing taxpayer burden. The compensation model is based on hourly rates for time and materials projects, with rates fixed for the initial contract term and potential increases of up to 5% upon renewal. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations.
