Child Welfare Information Gateway (CWIG)

The Child Welfare Information Gateway contract is forecasted by the Administration for Children and Families to support the development and maintenance of a national clearinghouse that provides accessible, reliable, and up-to-date resources on child welfare practices, policies, and services. This initiative aims to enhance the capacity of state, tribal, and local agencies, professionals, and families by offering evidence-based tools, research findings, training materials, and informational support to improve outcomes for children and families involved in the child welfare system. The work will be carried out under NAICS code 541611, which pertains to management consulting services, indicating a focus on strategic guidance, program improvement, and knowledge dissemination rather than direct service delivery. The point of contact for this effort is Beth Claxton, serving as the Program Point of Contact, while Mary Earnhart is listed as the Contracting Officer, both affiliated with the Administration for Children and Families. The contract is currently in the forecast phase, with no solicitation number assigned yet, and no set-aside provisions or geographic restrictions specified. There are no details regarding the expected contract value, duration, or specific deliverables, but the anticipated scope suggests a long-term engagement involving content curation, digital platform management, stakeholder outreach, and coordination across multiple jurisdictions. Interested parties should monitor the official HHS OSDBU portal for future solicitation announcements.
