SOLICITATION ADDENDUM THREE.docx

This is a Solicitation Addendum Three document issued by the State of Nebraska, through the State Purchasing Bureau and Nebraska State Records Board, revising the procurement schedule for RFP Number 122777 O5 regarding Network Manager Services for the state's online information Portal. The solicitation seeks comprehensive infrastructure and services to implement, operate, and expand the Portal, which will provide centralized access to public records and government services online. 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 responses are due by October 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with electronic submissions required through ShareFile and a WebEx opening meeting. The evaluation period is scheduled for November 3, 2025 through November 21, 2025, with vendor demonstrations potentially occurring December 1–5, 2025. The Notification of Intent to Award will be posted on December 11, 2025, followed by a contract finalization period extending through March 13, 2026, with a contract award date of March 20, 2026, and 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 in which the Network Manager receives 80% of margin service fees while the State Records Board retains 20%. Hourly rates for time and materials projects are fixed for the initial contract term with potential increases of up to 5% upon renewal. The subscription fee is set at $100.00, with the Portal designed to be self-funded through transaction and subscription services without increasing taxpayer burden. Potential revenue streams include transaction fees from various government services such as driver's license records, corporate filings, vehicle registrations, and court records, with historical data indicating multiple millions of dollars in transaction volumes. The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrict respondent organizations, and no incumbent vendor is identified. Bidders are responsible for monitoring the State Purchasing Bureau website at http://das.nebraska.gov/materiel/bidopps.html for all addenda and amendments, with technology issues not constituting grounds for exceptions to submission deadlines.
