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 and will focus on maintaining and enhancing GMRS operations while supporting NIFA's grant management modernization efforts, aiming to increase system reliability, data quality, and application performance.
The win expands Easy Dynamics' footprint at USDA, building on previous successes including a recompete for identity management work last year and a 10-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) on the USDA Stratus contract vehicle in 2024. These achievements establish EZD as a long-term technology partner across multiple USDA mission areas.
Greg Gordon, Chief Delivery Officer of EZD, emphasized the company's capabilities: '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 added, 'Supporting USDA's mission is a privilege, and I'm grateful to our team for their consistent dedication and expertise.'
This contract underscores the importance of modernizing federal grant management systems. By improving system reliability and data quality, the initiative aims to streamline how grants are managed and reported, ultimately benefiting stakeholders who rely on NIFA's programs.
