Technical Questions - NCIU.docx

The document is a Technical Questions file for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigations (CI) Nationally Coordinated Investigation Unit (NCIU). The RFI seeks information on a centralized database for worldwide passenger air travel data, with the goal of identifying potential providers, their available products, and technical features. Interested parties are required to submit responses, including a capabilities document, via email to Adam.Billmeier@ci.irs.gov by Friday, April 25, 2025, at 4:30 PM EST.

The technical questions in the file focus on recommended contracting strategy, software and hardware recommendations, data query details, technical features, and a cost estimate for a Base Year plus four Option Years. The RFI emphasizes that this is an information-gathering exercise only, with no commitment to procure services, and all submissions will become government property. The IRS CI may or may not choose to meet with potential offerors to clarify capabilities and potential development or certification risks. The delivery period is set for September 29, 2025, with no specific limitations or security requirements currently defined.
