SRA Awarded $59.9M Contract With U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Company to Continue Support to Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of information technology (IT) services and solutions to federal government organizations, announced today that it has been awarded a task order to assist the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in managing and monitoring the development, implementation, operation, maintenance, technical support, and enhancement of the expanded Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS). The task order, awarded under the Chief Information Officer Solutions and Partners 2 Innovations (CIO-SP2i) contract, has an estimated value of $59.9 million over five years if all options are exercised. Since 1996, SRA has provided program management and operations support to FPLS, which is managed by the DHHS Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE). Data in the FPLS repository are used by state and local child support agencies to locate non-custodial parents who are delinquent in child care payments. The data are also used by authorized Federal agencies to assist in fraud prevention and the recoupment of erroneous payments. In 2003, FPLS systems helped to collect more than $20 billion in child support payments and contributed to the Department of Education's collection of over $1.14 billion on defaulted education loans and grant overpayments. Under this new contract, the SRA team will provide a broad range of program management, technical monitoring, and technical and operational support for the FPLS program. Specific responsibilities will include conducting independent testing of FPLS system changes, as well as performing quality reviews of the data produced by the various FPLS systems; providing technical support to states; providing expertise and support for capital planning and investment control activities; gathering and analyzing management information to determine trends and benefits of the data being returned to users by the FPLS systems; and reviewing business and system requirements to ensure that all legal and regulatory requirements are met by the FPLS systems. The SRA team includes Northrop Grumman; Attainit, Inc.; the Center for the Support of Families; Insight Solutions, Inc.; Knowledge Integrity, Inc.; and Millennium Solutions, Inc. SRA President and CEO Renny DiPentima said, "Over the past nine years, we have developed a deep understanding of the complex issues facing the FPLS. We are pleased to be part of a program that benefits the nation and its children." Andy Cohen, SRA Program Manager for FPLS, stated, "We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with OCSE. The FPLS provides measurable benefits for child support and for other federal and state programs. It is also a model of effective collaboration within government, and between government and industry." About SRA International, Inc.
