Easy Dynamics Corporation (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 are expected to increase system reliability, data quality, and application performance. The win underscores the growing importance of modernizing federal grant systems to improve efficiency and transparency.
"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."
The new contract further strengthens EZD's relationship with USDA. Last year, EZD secured a recompete to continue its identity management work for the department. In 2024, EZD was awarded a 10-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) on the USDA Stratus contract vehicle. These achievements establish EZD as a long-term technology partner across multiple USDA mission areas and demonstrate the company's commitment to excellence, trust, and modernization.
"This win highlights EZD's commitment to delivering results and building trust with our federal clients," said EZD CEO Poupak Afshar. "Supporting USDA's mission is a privilege, and I'm grateful to our team for their consistent dedication and expertise."
The contract award is significant for the broader federal IT landscape, as it reflects the ongoing push to modernize grants management systems across agencies. By enhancing GMRS and supporting GMI, EZD is directly contributing to NIFA's ability to efficiently manage and distribute research funding, which is critical for agricultural innovation and food security. The partnership also positions EZD to potentially expand its work with other USDA agencies seeking similar modernization efforts.
EZD's ongoing partnership with USDA shows the impact the company aims to deliver for all clients. The team remains committed to building lasting relationships with every organization it serves. For more information about Easy Dynamics, visit www.easydynamics.com.
