Exhibit 3 - Permit of Transit or Cremation.docx

Exhibit 3 is a Permit of Transit or Cremation document associated with 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, with responses due on December 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The project aims to replace a 15-year-old hybrid system and will support approximately 30 internal users 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 contract will have a five-year term with one optional five-year renewal period, with vendor demonstrations tentatively scheduled for the week of February 17, 2025, and an anticipated contract execution on March 18, 2025.

The current system, built by Netsmart Technologies, contains approximately 10 million records in a 164GB database. Three initial vendors (Axiell ALM INC, LexisNexis VitalCheck, and Netsmart) remained 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. Pricing structure requires 40% of implementation costs allocated to implementation and 10% to design and configuration, with the vendor providing up to 160 contractor hours annually at no charge for regulatory changes. While no specific budget was disclosed, pricing will be fixed for the initial term, with any subsequent renewal not exceeding a 5% increase.
