About this vehicle
The Internal Revenue Service established Total Information Processing Support Services 4 (TIPSS-4), a Master IDIQ with a shared ceiling of $6.0 billion, on December 28, 2010, with ordering authority extending to July 22, 2121. The vehicle succeeded Total Information Processing Support Services 3 and operates through two subcategories: an Unrestricted Track and a Small Business Track. Ordering activity has stalled substantially; the most recent task order award dates to March 27, 2020, with only one award issued in 2020 after nine awards in 2018, 32 in 2017, 48 in 2016, and 41 in 2015. Of the combined task-order potential value of $222.57 billion across 346 awards, only $4.76 billion (2%) has been obligated.
Work spans information systems services, system security services, and strategic business services. Recent task orders cover customer account data processing systems (CADE 2), tax return filing and processing platforms (MEF, IRIS), cybersecurity operations (managed security incident response, vulnerability management), return review program analytics, enterprise identity and access management (TEICAM), healthcare administration systems (ACA portals and e-filing), audit support, telecommunications management, and application development and modernization across IRS critical business systems.
Competition concentrates among large federal IT contractors. Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte Consulting, Northrop Grumman Systems, and Accenture account for 37% of task orders by count. However, Unisys holds the largest single contract value at $12.07 billion combined potential, followed by Insysco ($6.35 billion), Citizant ($6.19 billion), Client/Server Software Solutions ($6.08 billion), and Avineon ($6.05 billion). Sixty-seven distinct primes have been awarded. Work concentrates heavily on IRS requirements; the Internal Revenue Service placed 320 of 346 orders (92%) totaling $222.13 billion potential value, with smaller numbers to Treasury Departmental Offices (16 orders, $258.9 million), the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (7 orders, $143.8 million), and FinCEN (3 orders, $30.2 million).
Set-aside designations favor unrestricted competition; 283 of 346 orders (82%) carry no set-aside. Small business set-asides account for 60 orders (17%), with two additional orders partially set aside and one HUBZone sole-source award. Task-order values range broadly, from under $500,000 to over $850 million; representative recent awards include a $363.4 million potential CADE 2 integration support order, a $539.8 million ACA/application development O&M order, a $484.7 million IRS Safeguards cybersecurity order, and a $475.0 million applications development order. Performance occurs across IRS facilities nationwide and at Treasury offices; many orders reference internal system code names (CYRBYME-C, CYRBYME-NA) indicating sustained internal operations and modernization work.
