2 INTENT TO PROPOSE.docx

This Intent to Propose form is associated with Solicitation Number 122777 O5, issued by the State of Nebraska through the State Purchasing Bureau and Nebraska State Records Board, seeking a Network Manager to implement, operate, and expand the state's online information Portal. Bidders must submit a complete Intent to Propose form to receive Appendices A and B via email. The solicitation requires comprehensive infrastructure and services for a centralized electronic system providing public records and government services online, including portal website and application development and maintenance, 24/7 hosting services, secure payment processing, user and partner support, and technical infrastructure management. Proposal responses are due by October 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an Intent to Award expected on December 11, 2025. The contract term is five years with an option to renew for an additional two years, with a projected start date of April 1, 2026.

The contract is structured as a revenue-sharing model where the successful Network Manager will receive 80 percent of margin service fees, with the NSRB receiving 20 percent. Potential revenue streams include transaction fees for government services such as driver's license records, corporate filings, vehicle registrations, and court records, with historical data indicating multiple millions of dollars in potential transaction volumes. The current subscription fee is set at $100.00, and the portal is expected to be self-funded through transaction and subscription services without increasing taxpayer burden. Compensation for time and materials projects will be based on fixed hourly rates for the initial contract term, with potential increases of up to 5 percent upon renewal. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations, and no incumbent vendor is specifically identified.
