I_04 SF 1012 - LSJ ITSI Bridge FINAL (SAM).pdf

This is a Limited-Sources Justification document for an Information Technology Security Implementation (ITSI) bridge order issued by the Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The document authorizes a one-year bridge task order to Maximus Federal Services, Inc. via the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, valued at $39,465,192.98, to provide critical cybersecurity support for the IRS from March 27, 2025 to March 26, 2026.

The task order involves technical and subject matter expert services to operate the IRS cybersecurity program, including collecting, ingesting, aggregating, correlating, and visualizing approximately 200 billion security events and 7 years of historical system data. Key services include detecting and managing network assets, overseeing user/account management, facilitating operational security, monitoring sensitive data protection, and mitigating cybersecurity risks. The justification notes the complex nature of the work, the IRS's zero tolerance for contractor performance degradation, and the mission-critical nature of protecting taxpayer data, which necessitates a limited-source approach to ensure continuous cybersecurity coverage during a re-compete period.
