Child Support System Modernization IV&V Services

The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking a qualified supplier to provide Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services for its Child Support System Modernization Project. The procurement focuses on supporting the replacement of the existing Support Tracking, Accounting, and Reporting System ($TARS) with a Hybrid Enhancement Platform-based solution for the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS). The IV&V services will be required throughout the entire modernization effort, with the primary objective of ensuring the successful implementation and performance of the new case management system. This procurement requires a highly skilled vendor capable of comprehensive system evaluation, validation, and verification processes. The contract opportunity was posted on December 16, 2024, with proposals due by January 15, 2025. Potential bidders must demonstrate expertise in system modernization, case management technologies, and independent validation methodologies specific to complex government technology implementations.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the procurement appears to be open to qualified technology service providers with demonstrated expertise in government system modernization. The existing $TARS system represents the current infrastructure that will require careful integration and transition planning. The Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) is managing the procurement process, indicating a strategic approach to system modernization. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, large-scale government technology modernization projects typically involve significant investment, potentially ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars. The scope of work suggests a complex, multi-phase project requiring comprehensive technical assessment, validation protocols, and ongoing system performance monitoring throughout the modernization lifecycle.
