Item 8.01 Other Events.

Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. ("ACS" or the "Company") and its Canadian subsidiary, ACS Public Sector Solutions, Inc., today received a summons issued February 15, 2006 by the Alberta Department of Justice requiring the Company and its subsidiary to answer a charge of a violation of a Canadian Federal law which prohibits giving, offering or agreeing to give or offer any reward, advantage or benefit as consideration for receiving any favor in connection with a business relationship. The charge covers the period from January 1, 1998 through June 14, 2004 and references the involvement of certain Edmonton police officials. The Company believes that the alleged violation relates to the subsidiary’s contract with the City of Edmonton for photo enforcement services. This subsidiary and contract were acquired by ACS from Lockheed Martin Corporation in August 2001 as part of ACS’ acquisition of Lockheed Martin IMS Corporation. This contract currently is month-to-month with annual revenue of approximately $2,000,000 (U.S. dollars). A renewal contract had been awarded to ACS’ subsidiary in 2004 on a sole source basis, but this renewal award was rescinded by the City of Edmonton and a subsequent request for proposals for an expanded photo enforcement contract was issued in September 2004. Prior to announcement of any award, however, the City of Edmonton suspended this procurement process pending the completion of the investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which led to this summons. The summons sets a hearing date of March 27, 2006. ACS has notified the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the summons.
