About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for Enterprise Architecture (EA) Modernization Strategy & Design Support services to strengthen its technology infrastructure. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive support across five key areas: EA Program Planning and Management, Enterprise Architecture Guidance, Solution Alignment Reviews, Modernization - IT Architecture Support, and CADE 2 Architecture & Research Support. The IRS will evaluate potential sources based on capability, quality, expected lifecycle of proposed solutions, technical environment, flexibility, implementation plan quality, time to implement, total cost of ownership, and risk level. Responses to the RFI are due by February 26, 2025, with questions accepted until February 17, 2025. Submissions are limited to 15 pages and must be emailed to Ryan.M.Dolan@irs.gov.
The RFI does not currently have a specific set-aside designation and is not committing to a contract award at this time. While no incumbent is explicitly named, the Q&A document suggests the contract will replace current task orders previously executed through another department's contract with Booz Allen Hamilton. The procurement aims to establish a new contract vehicle for enterprise architecture services, with a potential period of performance spanning a 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods from June 2025 through May 2030. Key technical focus areas include multi-cloud governance, Generative AI implementation, Zero Trust architecture, systems integration, and modernizing legacy systems like COBOL/ALC applications. The contract will require personnel capable of rapid deployment to IRS facilities in New Carrollton, MD, and Washington DC, with expertise in emerging technologies and federal compliance standards.

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for market research, planning
and information purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government to issue
a subsequent solicitation (Request for Proposal, etc.). This RFI does not commit the U.S. Government to
contract for any supply or service. IRS is not seeking proposals at this time. Further, IRS will not accept
unsolicited proposals in response to this RFI. Participants in this market research are advised that the
U.S. Government will not pay any costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with
responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Responses to this RFI will be used
to identify potential sources, vehicles and set asides for specific small business classifications. Therefore,
while not responding to this RFI does not directly preclude a vendor from participating in a future
solicitation, not responding to this RFI could impact procurement decisions that affect a vendor’s ability
to participate in future solicitation(s). There is no funding set aside for this requirement at the time of
this RFI.
IRS may use the responses to this RFI in developing a procurement strategy. IRS will weigh the capability,
quality and expected lifecycle of the proposed solutions, technical environment, flexibility and
adaptability to future needs, the quality of the implementation plan, time to implement, total cost of
ownership of the system, and the level of risk in consideration of the formal procurement strategy. The
information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the U.S. Government. All
submissions become the property of the U.S. Government and will not be returned. Responses to the RFI
may be used to develop U.S. Government documentation. Responses to this RFI may be reviewed by U.S.
Government technical experts drawn from staff within IRS and other Federal agencies.
