This award is part of a larger 8(a) STARS III Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with a total potential value of $50 billion for IT solutions across the federal government. Under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC, the IRS has issued Makpar task orders worth over $100 million to provide a range of IT services, including program management, systems development, cloud services, security services, and testing.
