About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) template for Graphic Design Services issued by the Internal Revenue Service's Taxpayer Advocate Service. The RFI seeks to assess potential vendors' capabilities for design and publication production, with responses due on 05/27/2025 at 4:30 PM ET. The template requires companies to provide detailed information across two primary sections: Company Profile and Technical Capability, which include specifics on project management, labor mix, digital and print capabilities, data visualization skills, design software proficiency (Adobe Illustrator and InDesign), and after-hours support.
Key technical capability questions focus on evaluating vendors' abilities to handle complex design projects, including creating interactive PDFs, managing large documents, producing print materials with tight deadlines, converting raw data into compelling visographics, and maintaining design consistency. The RFI also requests information about companies' business classifications, active government-wide contracts, and potential subcontracting opportunities. Respondents are expected to provide concrete examples demonstrating their technical expertise in graphic design, editorial support, and creative problem-solving within government communication standards.
