SOLICITATION LIST OF RESPONDENTS (Form 34).docx

The document is a Solicitation List of Respondents (Form 34) for Solicitation 121442, issued by the State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau (SPB) for the NDEE IIS Modernization project. The solicitation, dated July 29, 2025, received responses from five vendors: Breakthrough Technologies, Fresche Solutions USA Corporation, Nelnet Government Services, LLC, RhinoCorps, Ltd. Co., and Saige, Inc. The project involves modernizing the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy's Integrated Information System, converting approximately 400 legacy programs across 17 menus into modern languages and GUI interfaces compatible with Zend Server.

The solicitation covers a comprehensive system modernization with a two-year initial contract term and an option for one additional year renewal. While no specific budget is explicitly stated, the project requires converting complex environmental and professional certification tracking systems across domains including air quality, livestock waste control, and professional licensing. The evaluation will assess proposals across three categories: Corporate Overview (25 points), Technical Response (65 points), and Cost Proposal (10 points), with potential additional points for vendor demonstrations. The existing system operates across 14 working libraries with a DB2 database structure that will remain unchanged, emphasizing the need to preserve existing business logic while updating the technological infrastructure.
