This is a Final Evaluation Document for Request for Proposal Number 122777 O5, issued by the State of Nebraska through the State Purchasing Bureau and Nebraska State Records Board (NSRB). The solicitation seeks a Network Manager to implement, operate, and expand the State's online information Portal, which will provide public records and government services through a centralized electronic system. Key deliverables include developing and maintaining portal websites and applications, providing 24/7 hosting services, secure payment processing, user and partner support, and technical infrastructure management. The proposal opening date was October 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an Intent to Award expected on December 11, 2025. The contract term is five years with an option to renew for an additional two years, with a projected start date of April 1, 2026. The evaluation criteria encompassed two main parts: Corporate Overview (worth 25 points) and Technical Response (worth 75 points), with an additional 20 points allocated for demonstrations, bringing the total possible points to 120. Four vendors submitted proposals: CX Studios/Adobe Nebraska, Interactive LLC dba Tyler Nebraska, Kopius Inc., and Concourse Tech Inc., with scoring ranges from 12.11 to 20.52 for Part 1 and 45.40 to 67.88 for Part 2.

The contract is structured as a revenue-sharing model in which the selected Network Manager will receive 80 percent of margin service fees while the NSRB retains 20 percent. Revenue streams derive from transaction fees for government services including driver's license records, corporate filings, vehicle registrations, and court records, with historical data indicating multiple millions of dollars in potential transaction volumes. Compensation is based on hourly rates for time and materials projects, with rates fixed for the initial contract term and potential increases of up to 5 percent upon renewal. The current subscription fee is set at $100.00, with the portal expected to be self-funding through transaction and subscription services without increasing taxpayer burden. The solicitation does not identify a specific incumbent vendor, though the proposal indicates integration with existing state systems and payment processors will be required.
