2 INTENT TO PROPOSE.docx

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 (NSRB). The solicitation seeks a Network Manager to implement, operate, and expand the state's online information Portal, which will serve as a centralized electronic system 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. Interested bidders must submit a complete Intent to Propose, which will result in receipt of 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, 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 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. Compensation 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 percent upon renewal. 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 solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or incumbent vendors, and proposals will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, comprehensive service approach, and ability to manage the self-funding portal model.
