About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to award bridge contracts for electronic tax payment services to the three incumbent contractors through January 2024. The contractors provide electronic payment processing via interactive voice response, internet, and mobile devices to allow taxpayers to pay federal tax liabilities, collectively having 26 years of experience. Due to protests of previous full and open competition awards, the IRS requires short-term noncompetitive bridge contracts while a new competition is conducted, as new contractor testing and certification requires a minimum of eight months and cannot be completed before the 2023 tax filing season. The bridge contracts will be awarded at no cost to the incumbent contractors.
Notice text
The Internal Revenue Service has a continuing need to have an Electronic Credit Card Payment Program that allows taxpayers to pay their federal tax liabilities by means of Interactive Voice Response (IVR), Internet or mobile device. The Electronic Credit Card Payment Program’s mission is to offer convenient, safe, and secure payment methods that allow taxpayers to electronically pay individual and business taxes. The current credit card payment program is a key tax payment method that encourages and reduces paper handling for the service. The credit card program supports IRS and Wage and Investment (W&I) Strategic goals of promoting paperless filing and enables taxpayers to conduct transactions electronically with the IRS. The contractors capture taxpayer card and payment information, obtain real time authorization of the line of credit, provide taxpayers with a confirmation number at the end of the transaction and transmit files to a Treasury Financial Agent as required by the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) Credit Card Bulk Provider Requirements.
Awarded contract 2032H8-22-C-00015 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2022-07-28.
