Exhibit 2 Acknowledgement of Paternity.pdf

This is an Exhibit 2 document titled "Acknowledgment of Paternity" supporting the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services' Request for Proposal Number 120277 O3 REBID for a cloud-based Vital Records Management System. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive software solution to manage vital records across multiple event types including births, deaths, marriages, dissolutions, fetal deaths, and induced terminations of pregnancy. The system must support up to 5,000 users with 1,000 concurrent users and provide data migration capabilities for approximately 10,000,000 existing records. The RFP was posted on October 31, 2025, with proposals due on 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, and the targeted go-live date is 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), while maintaining compliance with HIPAA, Section 508, and NIST guidelines. The solution must be hosted in a cloud environment located within the United States with 99.9% uptime availability. Evaluation criteria are divided across four key 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 current system operates as a hybrid infrastructure requiring complete modernization, with no specific incumbent vendor continuing the project. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for project implementation, support, maintenance, and operations, including specific hourly rates for roles such as Software Engineers, IT Business Analysts, and Project Managers, though the exact budget is not publicly disclosed.
