About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Office of Business Solutions Acquisition has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for FOIAXpress services with AINS, LLC. The notice, posted on February 10, 2026, is based on the authority of FAR 6.302-2 citing "Unusual and Compelling Urgency" as justification for the sole source acquisition. The proposed contract will operate under GSA Contract GS35F576GA with a performance period not to exceed one year. AINS, LLC previously provided these services under an expired Blanket Purchase Agreement, and the government indicates that a competitive follow-on contract will not be established in sufficient time to meet operational needs. No formal solicitation package will be issued for this acquisition.
Interested contractors may submit responses by February 20, 2026, at 1700 EST to Adam.N.Walsh@irs.gov, though this is explicitly not a request for competitive quotations. Submission requirements include company name, DUNS number, point of contact information, evidence of capability to provide products or services fulfilling the same function as FOIAXpress, a detailed description of offered products and capabilities, and business status information including size and recognized category. Contractors must independently demonstrate that their offerings can match the text, scope, and information functionality provided by AINS, LLC's existing FOIAXpress service, as the government will not request supplementary information from companies that fail to provide sufficient evidence of capability. All interested parties should note that the work involves web-based FOIA processing services classified under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services).
