NOTE: RFI extended to September 2, 2026. Content updates are highlighted in yellow on the RFI and SOO documents. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking information for innovative, modular, and interoperable solutions that support child welfare technology modernization for title IV-E agencies at the state level. Through this RFI, ACF seeks input from vendors on standards – aligned technologies and services that can assist states, territories, and tribes in exploring, planning, implementing, and maintaining child welfare technology solutions. ACF seeks to develop a comprehensive understanding of the vendor landscape, including the capabilities, services, implementation approaches, and innovations available to support child welfare technology modernization. Information gathered through this RFI will help inform a catalog of market research for title IV-E agencies and other jurisdictions. The catalog is not intended to serve as a purchasing vehicle, procurement mechanism, or list of pre-approved offerings. It will provide greater transparency into the market, help jurisdictions understand available solution options, identify gaps in current capabilities, and determine where vendors may be best positioned to support child welfare modernization.
