This document is a Sources Sought Questionnaire for an Enterprise Data Management (EDM) Solutions Services, Data Inventory and Tagging requirement by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Sources Sought notice is seeking industry feedback to determine small business feasibility for a potential procurement, with a projected award date of January 11, 2026. The opportunity is classified under NAICS code 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), with a small business size standard of $30.0 million, and aims to gather information about potential contractor capabilities.

The questionnaire contains extensive sections covering technical, security, compliance, and operational capabilities across areas like cloud services, software development, cybersecurity, staffing, integration, and supply chain risk management. Key focus areas include cloud and software implementation, development methodologies, security authorizations, Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), cybersecurity practices, and technical system engineering processes. While large businesses are not precluded from responding, the IRS is particularly interested in small business perspectives, including socio-economic categories like small business, service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and 8(a) businesses. Respondents are asked to provide detailed information about their technical capabilities, experience, certifications, and potential contract approach.
