About this IDV

The Internal Revenue Service awarded a $10 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement to ICF Macro Inc., a subsidiary of ICF International, Inc., effective November 1, 2020, through April 30, 2026. This indefinite delivery vehicle, established under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule without set-aside designation, supports the IRS Customer Experience program through survey research, data collection, analysis, and customer satisfaction assessment services. ICF Macro, headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, leverages its specialized expertise in federal survey research and program evaluation to conduct systematic customer experience initiatives across multiple IRS divisions. The BPA framework enables the IRS to issue task orders for targeted research activities without conducting separate competitive procurements, streamlining the agency's ability to measure and enhance taxpayer satisfaction and gather operational intelligence.

Six task orders have been executed under this BPA, collectively valued at approximately $5.4 million and addressing distinct customer experience research initiatives. These include the Wage and Investment Taxpayer Experience Survey ($2.04M), the Small Business/Self-Employed Needs and Engagement Survey of Tax Professionals ($769K), the Small Business/Self-Employed Customer Experience, Expectations, and Needs Survey ($1.11M), and the Wage and Investment Customer Account Services Adjustments Customer Experience Survey ($579K), along with the E-Help Customer Experience Survey ($557K) and the Appeals Customer Satisfaction Survey ($377K). The task orders employ firm fixed-price pricing and involve subcontractors such as the National Opinion Research Center for specialized research functions including cognitive testing, sampling plan development, and focus group management. One task order, the Appeals Customer Satisfaction Survey, was terminated for convenience in 2025 based on Executive Order direction regarding wasteful spending, while other initiatives have concluded or are scheduled for completion through 2026.
