IRS Clean Energy System Development Support Services

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking software development and engineering services to support the creation of a cloud-based Clean Energy solution that will enable the processing of tax credits and deductions related to renewable energy investments. The procurement will focus on developing an integrated system using agile methodologies and low-code/no-code platforms such as Pega, Salesforce, ServiceNow, UiPath, PowerApps, and Palantir. Key contract requirements include providing comprehensive technical, program management, and quality control processes to design, configure, implement, and enhance workflows that meet legislative provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The evaluation will likely assess vendors' capabilities in software development, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and experience with similar government technology projects. Potential respondents must submit their capability statements and complete the provided RFI Response Spreadsheet by December 24, 2024, with a focus on demonstrating expertise in computer systems design and related services.

The opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, targeting primarily NAICS codes 541511 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 518210 (Data Processing, Hosting and Related Services). The contract is structured as a five-year period of performance, including a base year and four option years, with work to be performed primarily at contractor facilities or via telework. Personnel must be capable of obtaining Department of Treasury security clearances, and the contract will require key personnel including a Program Manager and leads for various technical domains. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive scope suggests a substantial investment in developing a complex, enterprise-level clean energy tax credit processing system. The IRS will require contractors to support nine critical task areas, including program management, deployment readiness, engineering architecture, enterprise operations, cybersecurity, and fraud detection.
