Easy Dynamics (EZD) has been awarded a new contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide operations and maintenance for the Grants Management Reporting System (GMRS) and support the Grants Modernization Initiative (GMI) for the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The 2.5-year $8 million contract begins in September 2026.
Under this contract, EZD will maintain and enhance GMRS operations while supporting NIFA's grant management modernization. These improvements will increase system reliability, data quality, and application performance. The win expands EZD's footprint with USDA, following a recompete last year for identity management work and a 10-year Basic Ordering Agreement on the USDA Stratus contract vehicle in 2024. These achievements establish EZD as a long-term technology partner across multiple USDA mission areas.
'Expanding our work with USDA gives us the opportunity to further strengthen NIFA's grants management systems and support its modernization journey,' said Greg Gordon, Chief Delivery Officer of EZD. 'Our team excels at delivering dependable, secure application operations and modernization support, and we look forward to helping NIFA maintain continuity, improve service delivery, and advance its Grants Modernization Initiative.'
EZD CEO Poupak Afshar emphasized the broader significance: 'This win highlights EZD's commitment to delivering results and building trust with our federal clients. Supporting USDA's mission is a privilege, and I'm grateful to our team for their consistent dedication and expertise.'
The announcement is important because it reflects the growing role of private technology partners in federal grants modernization efforts, particularly as agencies like USDA seek to improve system reliability and data quality. The contract also underscores EZD's deepening relationship with USDA, positioning the company for further opportunities as the department continues its modernization journey.
