Exhibit 2 Acknowledgement of Paternity.pdf

This is an Exhibit document supporting a Request for Proposal (RFP) Number 120277 O3 REBID issued by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for a cloud-based Vital Records Management System. The system must manage vital records across multiple event types including births, deaths, marriages, dissolutions, fetal deaths, and induced terminations of pregnancy. The solution must support up to 5,000 users with 1,000 concurrent users and migrate approximately 10,000,000 existing records. The RFP was posted on October 31, 2025, with proposals due November 21, 2025, at 2:00 pm CST. The initial contract term is five years with an option to renew for an additional five years, with a targeted go-live date within 15 months of the project kick-off meeting.

The system must integrate with state and federal systems including STEVE, Social Security Administration, and Electronic Verification of Vital Events (EVVE), with compliance required for HIPAA, Section 508, and NIST guidelines. The cloud environment must be fully hosted within the United States and maintain 99.9% uptime availability. Vendors will be evaluated on Corporate Overview (20 points), Functional Specification (30 points), Technical Specification (30 points), and Cost Sheet (20 points), with potential additional points for vendor demonstrations. The current system operates on hybrid infrastructure requiring complete modernization with no incumbent vendor continuing the project. Pricing will include hourly rates for roles such as Software Engineers, IT Business Analysts, and Project Managers, covering project implementation, support, maintenance, and operations across multiple contract phases, with provisions for custom programming and miscellaneous enhancements. The RFP indicates a comprehensive procurement process involving vendor vetting, reference checks, and credit reviews.
