About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research on Enterprise Architecture (EA) Standards and Knowledge Based Support services. The RFI seeks contractor support to enhance the agency's technology infrastructure by defining current and target architectures, developing transition strategies, and providing systems engineering services. Key contract requirements include managing approximately 500 EA Change Requests annually, maintaining an Enterprise Standards Profile with over 5000 software products, and supporting migration to Software AG Alfabet for application portfolio management. The IRS will evaluate responses based on capability, quality, expected lifecycle of proposed solutions, technical environment, flexibility, implementation plan, time to implement, total cost of ownership, and risk level. Responses are due by February 26, 2025, with questions from potential vendors due by February 17, 2025, and submissions must be limited to 15 pages.
While no specific set-aside has been definitively established, the IRS is considering a small business set-aside for this procurement. Booz Allen Hamilton is identified as the incumbent contractor supporting similar services through existing task orders. The draft Performance Work Statement indicates a 12-month base period from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, with four potential 12-month option periods that could extend the contract through May 31, 2030. Key personnel requirements include a Principal EA Advisor, Task Order Program Manager, and Systems Engineers/Architects, all requiring a minimum of 15 years of relevant experience. The work will primarily be performed at the contractor's site, with occasional access required to IRS facilities in New Carrollton, Maryland, and Washington, DC. Though no specific budget has been disclosed, the comprehensive scope suggests a significant investment in enterprise architecture and technology infrastructure support.

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.
