Attachment 2 Vendor Comments Matrix 051526.xlsx

This is a Vendor Comments Matrix template designed to collect feedback on a draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) for a federal tax software acquisition.

The matrix provides a structured format for vendors to submit comments and recommendations on the draft PWS (Attachment 1) by section, page number, line number, and document reference. Vendors are invited to identify the current form language, recommend specific changes, and provide detailed comment or feedback for each suggested modification. The Government Response column allows for official government replies to vendor input. This template is part of a Sources Sought Notice issued by the IRS Large Business & International Division under solicitation number SC5000197240, which is conducting market research to identify small business contractors capable of providing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tax software products and associated support services. The anticipated requirement includes software licensing for up to 3,500 licenses, maintenance and updates, middleware integration support, technical support and help desk services, cybersecurity compliance support, training services, and operational continuity support. The anticipated contract period consists of a one-year base period with four one-year option periods extending through March 31, 2032. Vendors responding to this pre-solicitation should use this matrix to provide structured feedback on the PWS in accordance with the submission instructions outlined in the Sources Sought Notice.
