Data Analytics And Innovation Support (DAIS)

The Data Analytics And Innovation Support (DAIS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multiple-award contract vehicle established by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to procure advanced data analytics, technology, and consulting services. The vehicle supports strategic initiatives aimed at improving tax compliance, internal operations, and technological capabilities through research, data-driven analysis, predictive modeling, and innovative IT solutions. Task orders under this BPA focus on developing sophisticated analytics tools, enhancing data exploration capabilities, and providing targeted technological support across various IRS divisions and operational domains.

The BPA has been predominantly awarded to three prime contractors: ASR Analytics, LLC, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., with task order values ranging from approximately $250,000 to $33.6 million. Task orders consistently demonstrate a focus on specialized analytics services, including fraud detection, compliance research, text analytics, examination planning, and digital asset tracking. The majority of task orders are firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods typically spanning two to five years, and none of the observed task orders utilized small business set-aside designations. Performance locations appear to be primarily in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with work supporting the IRS's civilian agency technology and data analytics modernization efforts. The contract vehicle enables the IRS to quickly procure advanced technological and analytical services through a streamlined, pre-competed mechanism.
