About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding the Customer Integration Gateway (CIG), which is intended to replace the Integrated Enterprise Portal (IEP). The CIG will serve as the primary digital gateway and platform connecting taxpayers, third parties, tax practitioners, and employees to the IRS.

The RFI provides background on the IRS mission and the current state, challenges, and priorities of the CIG. It outlines the IRS's plan to transition from a single managed service provider model to a "multi-provider under IRS control" model, and seeks industry input on approaches to break up the CIG work across multiple vendors while minimizing integration risk and oversight challenges. The IRS is considering awarding Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to multiple vendors, potentially separating service delivery by hosting models (e.g., private data center, cloud). The RFI includes questions for industry on company capabilities, multi-award approaches, and performance standards. Responses to the RFI are due by 8:00 PM Eastern Time on 8/23/2024.
