About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Mergent, Inc. for renewal of the Mergent Online Global Database Enterprise License subscription. This is not a solicitation but rather a formal notification that the IRS plans to proceed with a non-competitive award under FAR subpart 13.5. The contract will provide access to U.S. and international company data through Mergent's proprietary global financial database. The anticipated contract structure includes a twelve-month base period beginning September 30, 2025, with four additional option periods. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 519290 for Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services with a size standard of 1,000 employees.
The IRS requires this database subscription to support its annual data collection and analysis of corporate income tax returns, enabling comparative research across corporations and industries. The agency specifically needs access to standardized financial statements and corporate hierarchies that are unique to Mergent's database and not available from competitors, including proprietary domestic and international Excel spreadsheet outputs. While this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit inquiries or responses via email to Tonitta.L.Jones@irs.gov by 12:00 PM Eastern on September 10, 2025. The notice does not establish eligibility criteria for contractors since this is a sole source award, but any responses must include specific information requirements that were partially cut off in the provided text. Without access to Mergent's specialized database capabilities, the IRS would be unable to conduct the comprehensive comparative research necessary for its corporate tax analysis mission.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to award a sole source acquisition in accordance with FAR subpart 13.5 to Mergent, Inc. for the renewal of mission critical annual subscriptions to the Mergent Online Global Database Enterprise License of U.S. and International company data.
