CHANGE ORDER NOTICE Financial Institution Data Match FIDM Services

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) is seeking a change order for an existing contract with Informatix, Inc. for Financial Institution Data Match Services (FIDMS), originally awarded through a Joint Purchase Request for Proposal method involving a 21-state alliance. The procurement is mandated by federal legislation (Public Law 104-193 and Public Law 105-200) and requires child support agencies to establish agreements with financial institutions to identify accounts of delinquent child support obligors. This change order specifically addresses two primary modifications: increasing direct reimbursements to financial institutions and adding System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 and 2 Reporting as determined by the Agency Chief Information Security Officer. The contract modification increases the contract value by $1,595,587.35 to correct a contractual error and align the agreement with its original intent. The change order meets procurement notification requirements, necessitating a 14-day posting on the Bulletin/BidBuy system, with the current due date set for December 10, 2025. The procurement aims to automate data matching processes and enhance financial institution collaboration for child support enforcement.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The incumbent vendor is Informatix, Inc., which was initially selected through a multi-state competitive process. The existing contract infrastructure appears to be a digital data matching system designed to interface with financial institutions across multiple states. The total contract value will increase to $1,595,587.35 beyond the original contract amount, representing a significant investment in child support enforcement technology and reimbursement processes. The change order suggests integration capabilities with existing financial institution systems and requires technical competence in data matching, reporting, and compliance with federal child support enforcement regulations. While specific vendor qualifications are not detailed, the complexity of the project implies a need for vendors with substantial experience in government contract management, financial data systems, and child support enforcement technologies.
