Easy Dynamics Wins $8 Million USDA Contract for Grants Modernization

Easy Dynamics (EZD), a McLean, Virginia-based technology services provider, has secured a new contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to support the Grants Management Reporting System (GMRS) and the Grants Modernization Initiative (GMI) for the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The 2.5-year, $8 million contract, set to begin in September 2026, underscores the company's growing footprint in federal IT modernization.

Under the agreement, EZD will provide operations and maintenance for GMRS, focusing on enhancing system reliability, data quality, and application performance. Additionally, the company will support NIFA's broader grants modernization efforts, which aim to streamline and improve the efficiency of grant management processes. This work is critical for NIFA, which oversees federal funding for agricultural research, education, and extension programs that impact farmers, rural communities, and food systems nationwide.

"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 win builds on a series of recent successes for EZD within USDA. Last year, the company 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, a significant vehicle for acquiring IT services. These achievements position EZD as a long-term technology partner across multiple USDA mission areas, demonstrating 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 implications of this contract extend beyond the immediate scope of work. For the agricultural industry, more efficient grant management means faster disbursement of funds for research and innovation, which can accelerate advancements in crop science, sustainability, and food security. For the broader federal IT landscape, EZD's continued partnership with USDA serves as a model for how agencies can leverage specialized vendors to modernize legacy systems while maintaining operational continuity.
