Exhibit 2 Acknowledgement of Paternity.pdf

This document is Exhibit 2 from a Request for Proposal issued by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for a cloud-based Vital Records Management System. The exhibit contains an acknowledgment of paternity form, which represents one of the vital record types that the proposed system must manage. The RFP, numbered 120277 O3 REBID, was posted on October 31, 2025, with proposals due on November 21, 2025, at 2:00 pm CST. The system must support multiple vital record event types including births, deaths, marriages, dissolutions, fetal deaths, and induced terminations of pregnancy, with capacity for up to 5,000 users and 1,000 concurrent users. The project requires migration of approximately 10,000,000 existing records and integration with state and federal systems including STEVE, the Social Security Administration, and Electronic Verification of Vital Events (EVVE). The targeted go-live date is within 15 months of the project kick-off meeting, with an initial contract term of five years and an option to renew for an additional five years.

The solicitation requires vendors to respond across four evaluation areas: 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 system must comply with federal and state regulations including HIPAA, Section 508, and NIST guidelines, and must be housed in a fully hosted cloud environment located within the United States with 99.9% uptime availability. The current system is a hybrid infrastructure requiring complete modernization, indicating no incumbent vendor continuation. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for project implementation, support, maintenance, and operations across multiple contract phases, including specific hourly rates for roles such as Software Engineers, IT Business Analysts, and Project Managers. The procurement process will include thorough vendor vetting with potential reference and credit checks, though no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation.
