The Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service), on behalf of The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), intends to contract with Tax Talk Today, Inc. 1610-D Beekman Pl NW Apt D, Washington, DC 20009-4022, on a sole source basis.

TIGTA intends to purchase: Tax Talk Today 15 CPE Subscription CY26, Qty: 91, EA @ $215.00 = $19,565.00. No comparable vendor offers similar services with IRS facilitated programs.

GAO standards require all government auditors bi-annually earn at least 24 hours of CPE that directly relate to government auditing, the government environment, or the specific entity being audited.

Tax Talk Today ® - The Tax Show for the Tax Pro is an online series of programs designed to educate all tax practitioners. Programs cover Ethics, Federal Tax Law Updates, and Federal Tax Law and bring together representatives from the IRS, the National Association of Enrolled Agents, and industry tax experts and professionals. Each program features lively round-table discussions and the opportunity for viewers to participate by emailing questions directly to the panelists.

Tax Talk Today awards CPEs for subscribers who view Live (Group-Internet Based) via the Internet or Archived/QAS Self Study Programs and print their certificate of completion at the end of the program.

Tax Talk Today is a reliable source that allows auditors to earn the majority of the required government CPEs needed to meet the two-year GAO requirement because content, training and materials are presented by our primary stakeholder, the IRS. Tax Talk Today is the only source for their proprietary program.

The period of performance for the purchase order/contract is anticipated to be one 12-month base period.
