Easy Dynamics (EZD) has secured a new contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to deliver operations and maintenance for the Grants Management Reporting System (GMRS) and support the Grants Modernization Initiative (GMI) at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The 2.5-year, $8 million contract begins in September 2026.
Under this agreement, EZD will maintain and enhance GMRS operations while assisting NIFA in modernizing its grant management processes. The improvements aim to increase system reliability, data quality, and application performance, ensuring that NIFA can efficiently manage its grants portfolio.
“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 contract further cements EZD's relationship with USDA. Last year, the company won a recompete to continue its identity management work for the department, and in 2024 it was awarded a 10-year Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) on the USDA Stratus contract vehicle. These achievements position EZD as a long-term technology partner across multiple USDA mission areas, demonstrating a commitment to excellence, trust, and modernization.
“This win highlights EZD's commitment to delivering results and building trust with our federal clients,” said CEO Poupak Afshar. “Supporting USDA's mission is a privilege, and I'm grateful to our team for their consistent dedication and expertise.”
The expansion at USDA reflects EZD's broader goal of building lasting relationships with every organization it serves. The company brings expertise in identity, credential, and access management (ICAM), cloud modernization, risk management, and automation, as detailed on its website at www.easydynamics.com.
This contract win underscores the growing importance of modernizing federal grants management systems to improve efficiency and data integrity. As agencies like USDA pursue digital transformation, partnerships with specialized technology providers become critical to achieving mission objectives.
