This is an Intent to Propose form for Solicitation Number 122777 O5, issued by the State of Nebraska through the State Purchasing Bureau and Nebraska State Records Board. The solicitation seeks a Network Manager to implement, operate, and expand the state's online information Portal, a centralized electronic system for providing public records and government services online. Key deliverables include developing and maintaining portal websites and applications, providing 24/7 hosting services, secure payment processing, user and partner support, and technical infrastructure management. Bidders must submit a complete Intent to Propose form using the ShareFile link provided in the Schedule of Events. Upon receipt of a complete Intent to Propose, the State will provide Appendix A and Appendix B via email. 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, and the projected start date is April 1, 2026.

The compensation model is structured as a revenue-sharing arrangement where the selected vendor will receive 80% of margin service fees, with the NSRB receiving 20%. Potential revenue streams include transaction fees for various 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 its 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% upon renewal. Integration with existing state systems and payment processors will be required. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations.
