About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for procuring roll paper used in correspondence production services across three of its locations in Detroit, MI; Bloomington, IL; and Ogden, UT. The paper must be 17 inches wide, 50 inches in diameter, with 20 lbs. bond specifications and a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste content, specifically compatible with Ricoh IP 5000 and Ricoh VC40000 inkjet printers. The RFI aims to conduct market research to identify potential manufacturers and resellers of the required roll paper, with vendors invited to submit a maximum 15-page response by 11:59 PM eastern on April 6, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include capability, quality, expected lifecycle of proposed solutions, technical environment, flexibility, implementation plan, time to implement, and total cost of ownership. All questions about the RFI must be submitted by March 26, 2025, with responses potentially used to inform procurement strategy and identify potential small business set-asides.
While this is an RFI and not a formal solicitation, the IRS will require weekly full truckload shipments to the specified locations and is seeking vendors who can demonstrate sustainable sourcing practices, such as FSC-certified paper procurement. No specific set-aside has been designated, and there is currently no funding allocated for the requirement. The RFI emphasizes that responding is not a guarantee of future contract award, but not responding could impact potential procurement decisions. Vendors must provide a cover page with company information, including SAM.gov Unique Entity Identifier, business type, NAICS codes, and federal contract history. The IRS will review responses using technical experts from within the agency and potentially other federal agencies, with all submissions becoming government property and potentially used to develop future procurement documentation.
