About this opportunity
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a civilian agency within the Department of the Treasury, issued a sole source justification notice on November 10, 2025, for the procurement of Resource Accent Control Facilities (RACFs) software and license maintenance and support services. The IRS requires advanced security capabilities specifically tailored to support its mainframe environment, which comprises 23 Logical Partitions (LPARs) and 13 Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) databases with a processing capacity of up to 39,019 Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS). The contract was awarded to Vanguard Integrity Professionals for the Vanguard Security Suite, with a total estimated value of $5,414,289.00 under a firm-fixed-price arrangement spanning three years from October 30, 2025, to October 29, 2028, consisting of a base year and two option years. Market research determined that Vanguard is the sole vendor capable of meeting the IRS's unique operational and compliance requirements, as competing solutions such as IBM zSecure could not provide the integrated delivery governance and real-time policy enforcement necessary for the agency's complex infrastructure security needs. This procurement falls under FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Commercial Products and Services and addresses critical security functions including audit record generation, audit review and analysis, and system monitoring.
