About this opportunity
This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice was published by the Internal Revenue Service to acquire a one-year subscription to Chainalysis' Rumker floating license for up to five users. The justification cites Chainalysis as the sole provider that collects and analyzes the requisite Bitcoin transaction data over the longest period of time to fully enable its proprietary Rumker tool for network analysis and tracing of Bitcoin transactions to specific IP addresses. Pursuant to this justification, the IRS intends to award a contract to Chainalysis, Inc. on a sole source basis for one Chainalysis Rumker Floating License with a period of performance of one year.

This high-level Network analysis provided by the Rumker tool is not offered by any competitors, in any form. The Government intends to solicit and award with one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This notice is neither a request for proposals nor a solicitation of offers. Any interested organizations must submit a written statement of their capabilities and qualifications to fulfill this requirement to the identified point of contact as soon as possible, but no later than 10:00 (CST) on March 3, 2020.

Any such statement of capabilities and qualifications received by the deadline will be evaluated solely or the purpose of determining whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
