The ACF, ACYF, CB, Division
of Capacity Building announces the
intent to award a within scope awarding
agency-initiated non-competitive
supplement with extension in the
amount of up to $1,600,000, to the
American Public Human Services
Association for its affiliate the
Association of Administrators of the
Interstate Compact on the Placement of
Children (AAICPC) in Washington, DC,
for the further implementation and
support nationally of the National
Electronic Interstate Compact Enterprise
(NEICE) system. The NEICE is an interjurisdictional electronic system to
improve administrative efficiency in
implementing the Interstate Compact on
the Placement of Children (ICPC), a
process that ensures safe and suitable
interstate placements for children in
foster care.
DATES: The proposed period of
performance is September 30, 2024,
through September 29, 2025.

implementation, support, and scale up
of the NEICE. The NEICE is a national
electronic system for quickly and
securely exchanging the data and
documents required by the Interstate
Compact on the Placement of Children
(ICPC) to place children with foster,
adoptive, and kinship families across
state lines. APHSA has been the
recipient of funding from the ACYF/CB
for the development and national
implementation of the NEICE since its
inception as a pilot project funded by
the Partnership Fund for Program
Integrity Innovation at the Office of
Management and Budget and
administered by CB in November 2013.
This 20-month pilot proved successful
and led to a new sole source cooperative
agreement for the expansion of the pilot
to all 52 jurisdictions of the AAICPC
nationwide. This funding was further
extended and supplemented to continue
to support the expansion of the project
nationally with the current funding
period expiring September 29, 2024.
This within scope awarding agencyinitiated non-competitive supplement
with extension is essential to allow the
remaining states to join the system and
to provide ongoing support and
upgrades necessary for an electronic
system. In addition, the Family First
Prevention Services Act of 2018 requires
all states to join an electronic exchange
system by October 1, 2027, and NEICE
is on track to support states in meeting
this requirement.
It is CB’s intention to provide funding
of up to $1,600,000 beginning
September 30, 2024. The state members
of the AAICPC contribute annual
membership and connection fees;
however, these are currently not
adequate to meet the full operational
costs of managing the national system.
The APHSA is well-positioned to
continue to scale the project nationally
and to assure the continued optimal
maintenance of the NEICE.
