SOLICITATION ADDENDUM ONE 9.3.docx

This is a Solicitation Addendum One issued by the State of Nebraska, through the State Purchasing Bureau and Nebraska State Records Board, revising the procurement schedule for Network Manager Services (Solicitation Number 122777 O5). 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. Proposal submissions are due electronically by October 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time via ShareFile. The revised schedule includes two rounds of written questions (due September 10 and September 19, 2025, with state responses by September 5 and September 26, respectively), an electronic solicitation opening on October 23, 2025, a conformance review period from October 24-31, 2025, an evaluation period from November 3-21, 2025, potential vendor demonstrations from December 1-5, 2025, and a Notification of Intent to Award on December 11, 2025. The contract award is anticipated for March 20, 2026, with a vendor start date of April 1, 2026. The contract term is five years with an option to renew for an additional two years.

The compensation model is structured as a revenue-sharing arrangement where the successful vendor will receive 80 percent of margin service fees, with the NSRB receiving 20 percent. Potential revenue streams include transaction fees for government services such as driver's license records, corporate filings, vehicle registrations, and court records, with historical data indicating multiple millions of dollars in potential transaction volumes. The subscription fee is set at $100.00, with the portal expected to be self-funded through transaction and subscription services. Hourly rates for time and materials projects will be fixed for the initial contract term with potential increases of up to 5 percent upon renewal. No specific set-aside designations or incumbent vendor restrictions are identified in the addendum. Bidders are responsible for monitoring the State Purchasing Bureau website at http://das.nebraska.gov/materiel/bidopps.html for all addenda and amendments, and must upload all electronic files by the opening date and time, with no exceptions made for technology issues.
