About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source purchase order to Rapiscan Systems, Inc. for preventive maintenance services on Rapiscan X-Ray Screening Systems. This notice is classified as an informational filing under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and does not constitute a competitive solicitation. The IRS has determined that Rapiscan is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's requirements for maintaining the X-ray equipment currently in use at the IRS National Distribution Center. The procurement will be structured as a firm-fixed price purchase order covering a base year plus four option years. This action was published on January 15, 2026, by the Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide visibility to potential competitors regarding the government's intent to sole source this requirement while offering an opportunity for interested parties to challenge the sole source determination. Interested contractors must submit a capabilities statement to Ingrid.a.harris@irs.gov by 3:00 PM EST on Friday, January 16, 2026, demonstrating their capability to provide equivalent functionality and services for Rapiscan X-ray system maintenance. To participate, contractors must provide sufficient evidence within their submission that they can meet the government's needs; failure to do so will result in the government declining to seek additional information from the submitting company. The government has indicated that information received will typically be considered only for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in future acquisitions. No formal Request for Quotation will be issued, and the award determination is based on the vendor's proprietary hardware, software, and patented algorithms specific to the equipment, as well as the need to maintain operational continuity for tax product shipments.
