Data Web Access Subscription

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Large Business & International Division is seeking a curated global company database with integrated research tools and multiple database subscriptions to support tax audit, analysis, and tax assessments in Section 482 transfer pricing and international taxation. This pre-solicitation Request for Information (RFI) is issued to conduct market research and gather vendor capabilities for a comprehensive data web access subscription service. Key contract requirements include access to extensive financial data on global companies (both public and private), ownership structures, directors and contacts, stock data, country profiles, compliance data, and sanctions screening capabilities, as well as unlimited download functionality, saved searches and analyses, coverage of Europe/Middle East/Africa and Asia/Pacific regions, and 24/7 help desk support with minimum three virtual training courses monthly. The IRS will evaluate vendors based on their prior experience supporting organizations requiring business information access, years of operation providing worldwide financial research database software, comprehensive geographic and data coverage, compliance with all stated requirements, and ability to provide future enhancements at no additional cost. The RFI response deadline is April 24, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST, and vendors must submit completed Vendor Response Forms, one-page company capabilities statements, and two-page software specification brochures to designated IRS points of contact.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and no current incumbent or potential contractor is identified in the pre-solicitation materials. The contract period of performance is one base year with four option years, representing a five-year total potential commitment, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The IRS anticipates serving approximately 3,000 employees across multiple divisions including the Treaty and Transfer Pricing Operations, Research, Applied Analytics & Statistics Division, Criminal Investigations, and Global High Wealth divisions. The IRS prefers vendors on established Government-wide acquisition vehicles (GWACs) including MAS, OASIS SB/+, ALLIANT 2/3, 8a STARS III, VETS2, POLARIS, and NASA SEWP. Successful vendors must provide 11 integrated database modules and tools, support system administration with at least two administrator licenses, deliver a kickoff meeting within five business days of award, and ensure all deliverables comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act regarding electronic and information technology accessibility.
