About this opportunity
The Financial Institution Data Match (FIDM) program is a state-level procurement focused on child support enforcement, stemming from federal legislation including the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 and the Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998. The primary objective is for state child support agencies to establish data matching agreements with financial institutions to identify accounts of delinquent child support obligors. This procurement requires financial institutions to participate in an automated data match process, with the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement utilizing a national file of delinquent obligors for multistate financial institutions. The contract opportunity was posted on February 14, 2022, with a proposal due date of March 10, 2022. The procurement is being coordinated through a multi-state Alliance, currently involving 21 states, with Wisconsin being one of the participating jurisdictions. Key deliverables include comprehensive data matching processes, automated identification of delinquent child support accounts, and systematic data transfer between financial institutions and state child support agencies.
The procurement appears to be open to financial institutions operating within or across state boundaries, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the provided documentation. The Alliance structure suggests a collaborative approach to contract implementation, with standardized terms and conditions across participating states. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the multi-state nature of the program indicates potential significant operational scope. The contract terms include provisions for potential expansion, with additional states able to join the FIDM Alliance during the contract term. Each state will have identical contract end dates and renewal capabilities, ensuring consistency across jurisdictions. The documentation indicates that the program is designed to be inclusive of both single-state and multistate financial institutions, with identical procedural requirements for participation. The procurement represents a cooperative approach to child support enforcement data matching, leveraging technology and inter-institutional collaboration to improve financial tracking and support collection processes.
Opportunity text
State Child Support programs must enter into agreements with financial institutions to conduct data matches to identify accounts of delinquent child support obligors.
The Financial Institution Data Match (FIDM) program stems from Public Law 104-193, Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), passed in 1996. Additional legislation in 1998 simplified the process for multistate financial institutions doing business in more than one state. Public Law 105-200, Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998, modified PRWORA to facilitate the data match for multistate financial institutions. Although the procedures for data match with single-state and multistate financial institutions differ, the requirements are identical. This data match requires state child support agencies to enter into agreements with financial institutions and to automate to the greatest extent possible.
With passage of Public Law 105-200, the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement uses its national file of delinquent obligors for the data match with multistate financial institutions and transfers matched data to State agencies.
21 states have entered into an Alliance for the purpose of outsourcing in-state FIDM programs. Additional states may join the FIDM Alliance during the term of this Contract. The terms and conditions for each state will be amended by that state.
The Alliance is a coalition of states formed to cooperatively develop, issue, and oversee these FIDM operations. The Alliance will continue to focus on cooperation on data matching functions.
All states that take part of the Alliance Program must have the same contract end date(s) within their own individual contract unless otherwise prohibited by state policy. All states that participate in the Alliance Program must have the same ability to renew as described in the Standard Contract Terms within their own individual contracts.
Michigan is responsible for coordinating the contract solicitation process in accordance with Michigan procurement policies. Each participating state is responsible for entering into individual contracts with the awarded Contractor in accordance with each state's procedures and laws.
