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.
"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."
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 business and technology leaders, this contract signals the growing importance of grants modernization in federal agencies. NIFA's efforts to improve system reliability and data quality can streamline how research and education grants are managed, potentially accelerating the distribution of funds and enhancing oversight. Easy Dynamics' role as a long-term technology partner underscores the value of specialized expertise in identity management, cloud modernization, and automation—capabilities that are increasingly critical for government IT initiatives.
This win also highlights the competitive landscape for federal IT contracts. Easy Dynamics' ability to secure follow-on work and expand its footprint at USDA demonstrates the importance of building trusted relationships and delivering consistent results. For companies in the government technology sector, this contract serves as a case study in how specialized providers can deepen their engagement with large agencies over time.
