About this file
This is a Treasury Department SF 1013 Justification and Approval for Sole Source Acquisition under FAR subpart 13.5 for Tax Notes Electronic Subscriptions.
The Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seeks to acquire electronic subscription services from Tax Analysts (large business) under sole source procurement authority. The acquisition includes 2,000 user subscriptions to Tax Notes Federal Package web-based electronic subscriptions and 550 user subscriptions to Tax Notes International Package covering multiple tax research products and databases. The need date is September 30, 2026, with performance spanning one 12-month Base Year (09/30/26 – 09/29/27) and four optional 12-month Option Years through 09/29/31. The estimated contract value across all periods is redacted. The solicitation authority is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). Market research conducted between May and July 2026 supported the sole source determination. A Sources Sought Notice was posted on SAM Contract Opportunities in July 2026 to assess small business capability, with no viable alternatives identified. The justification emphasizes Tax Analysts' unique qualifications as a non-profit publisher dedicated exclusively to tax policy journalism and independent editorial analysis, which provides specialized perspective unavailable elsewhere without supplemental contracts. The Government continues to evaluate market competition for subsequent acquisitions. Approvals required include the Bureau Chief Information Officer, Advocate for Competition, and Head of Procuring Activity for the contracting activity, with contract value appearing to exceed $900,000.
