About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service is procuring comprehensive graphic design services to support the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) through a firm fixed-price contract spanning a base year with four optional 12-month extension periods from October 31, 2025 to October 30, 2030. The contractor will provide approximately 1,000 annual hours of design services, including 700 hours of design production tasks and 300 hours of creative tasks, primarily focused on creating complex publications such as the Annual Report to Congress (approximately 500 pages), Objectives Report to Congress (approximately 100 pages), and various other TAS publications totaling 500-700 pages annually. The contractor must demonstrate proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and InDesign, and possess capabilities for managing large-scale design projects, data visualization, and creating technically complex documents while ensuring Section 508 compliance. The evaluation will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, assessing contractual documents, technical approach, demonstrated experience through seven design samples, and pricing. Key dates include questions due September 25, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST and quotes due October 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST following two amendments that extended the original deadline.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541430 with a small business size standard of $9.0 million, and there is no incumbent contractor currently performing these services. The contract includes software license subscriptions with not-to-exceed amounts starting at $40,000 in the base year and escalating 10% annually to $58,564 in the fourth option year, with a total contract value of $244,204 across all periods for licenses and subscriptions alone. The contractor must provide two senior designers with at least five years of experience and will be responsible for producing print-ready files, creating up to 30 advance copies of Reports to Congress, and completing design tasks within specific timeframes such as 10-14 days for congressional reports. Work will be performed at the contractor's facilities, with the contractor responsible for all software licensing, file transfers, and maintaining confidentiality of sensitive taxpayer information. The place of performance is listed as Washington, DC, though the actual design work will occur at the contractor's location with deliverables submitted to TAS headquarters.
