eGMS System Modernization

The National Endowment for the Humanities is conducting market research through a sources-sought Request for Information to modernize the user interface of its enterprise grants management system, known as eGMS. This shared service is utilized by the NEH and other federal agencies. The project focuses on migrating approximately 650 UI module components from ASP.NET Web Forms to ASP.NET Core, with a strong preference for Microsoft Blazor, although other frameworks such as Razor Pages, MVC, or SPA frameworks like Angular and React are considered. The technical environment involves Microsoft Azure for hosting and the continued use of Telerik by Progress control libraries. Key objectives for the modernization include the development of a phased migration plan, the preservation of existing role-based access control and identity management, and alignment with Zero Trust security patterns and OWASP standards. The project also requires the use of Azure Key Vault for secrets management and strict adherence to Section 508 and WCAG accessibility compliance. Additionally, the agency seeks a comprehensive knowledge transfer plan to upskill its engineers through mentored implementation and pair-programming. Interested organizations must submit their capabilities statements and technical recommendations via email to the designated points of contact by November 19, 2026.
