Families


Contract to the State Information Technology Consortium

AGENCY: Office of Child Support Enforcement, ACF, DHHS.

ACTION: Contract award announcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a contract is being awarded to the 
State Information Technology Consortium (SITC) of Herndon, Virginia, in 
the amount of $2,000,000 to help improve the coordination of child 
support enforcement activities.
    Congress recognizes that seamless and cost-effective processes for 
information-sharing among state human service agencies and courts are 
critical to states in meeting the complex information and systems 
reporting requirements of the Child Support Enforcement Program. 
Accordingly, it has earmarked $2,000,000 to SITC to identify and widely 
disseminate methods for improving the flow of information between 
federal and state agencies and the state court system. Over the past 
several years, SITC has successfully performed, and continues to 
perform, similar services for the Office of Family Assistance to assist 
states in meeting the information and systems reporting requirements of 
the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program. Given this 
success, it is expected that SITC will be equally as effective in its 
efforts to help improve coordination in the Child Support Enforcement 
Program. The period of this funding will extend through April 30, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nehemiah Rucker, Office of Child 
Support Enforcement, Administration for Children and Families, 370 
L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447, telephone 202-260-5494.

    Dated: April 5, 2002.
Sherri Z. Heller,
Commissioner, Office of Child Support Enforcement.
