Description
The Administration for Children & Families (ACF) within HHS is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence on innovative, modular, and interoperable technology solutions that can modernize child‑welfare information systems for Title IV‑E agencies at the state, territorial, and tribal level. Respondents are asked to submit up to six distinct solution proposals, each limited to five “Response Areas” (e.g., technology capabilities, program delivery, lifecycle support, modularity/interoperability, standards alignment, maturity/readiness). Submissions must follow a strict format (5‑page narrative plus cover page, limited appendices) and be filed electronically by September 2 2026, 5 PM ET. The RFI is purely informational; no contract will be awarded, but the collected data will feed a market catalog to inform future procurement planning.
• Target audience: vendors offering software platforms, modules, managed services, advisory or acceleration assets for child‑welfare systems (e.g., CCWIS).
• Required content: overview, organizational background, solution description, implementation approach, relevant past performance, and compliance with federal security, privacy, and accessibility standards.
• Submission limits: max six solutions per vendor; each solution limited to five response areas and five pages of narrative.
• Key dates: Questions due August 26 2026; final response due September 2 2026.
• No budget, award, or contract terms disclosed; the effort is for market research only.
