Exhibit 2 - Acknowledgement of Paternity.docx

The document titled "Exhibit 2 - Acknowledgement of Paternity" appears to be an exhibit related to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Vital Records Management System procurement. The state is seeking a vendor-hosted, web-based system through RFP 120277 O3, released on October 28, 2024, with responses due December 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The project aims to replace a 15-year-old hybrid system for managing vital records, supporting approximately 30 internal and 5,000 external users, processing around 26,000 births, 18,500 deaths, 12,000 marriages, and 6,000 dissolution of marriage events annually. The implementation timeline requires User Acceptance Testing within 12 months and full production environment within 15 months, with vendor demonstrations tentatively scheduled for the week of February 17, 2025, and an anticipated contract execution on March 18, 2025.

The contract will be for a five-year term with one optional five-year renewal period, with pricing fixed for the initial term and subsequent renewals not exceeding a 5% increase. The current system, built by Netsmart Technologies, contains approximately 10 million records in a 164GB database. Three vendors (Axiell ALM INC, LexisNexis VitalCheck, and Netsmart) remain in consideration after Voyatek and ManTech were deemed non-responsive. The system must interface with the Online Verification System (OVS) and support FHIR messaging, with mandatory requirements including seven essential modules, cloud-based hosting, 99.9% system availability, and compliance with Section 508 and HIPAA standards. The vendor must provide up to 160 contractor hours annually at no charge for federal or state regulatory changes, with 40% of implementation costs allocated to implementation and 10% to design and configuration.
