Upgrade and Hosting of The Museum System (TMS)

The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service is seeking to upgrade and migrate its legacy on-premises implementation of The Museum System (TMS) to a modern, vendor-hosted cloud environment. This procurement aims to enhance system stability, restore vendor-supported functionality, and reduce cybersecurity risks associated with outdated software while ensuring continued secure access to Treasury's historical collections database. The upgrade will support operational continuity and position the Department for potential future consolidation with other bureaus using TMS toward a unified enterprise solution. This is identified as a sole source requirement with the original equipment manufacturer, indicating that evaluation will be based on the vendor's existing relationship and proprietary system capabilities. The solicitation was posted on September 17, 2025, with responses due by October 1, 2025, providing interested parties with a two-week window to submit proposals.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities despite being characterized as a sole source procurement. The contract structure is firm fixed-price with a five-year term that includes option periods, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541519 for Other Computer Related Services and PSC category DA01 for IT and Telecom Business Application/Application Development Support Services. Performance will take place in Lanham, Maryland, and the solicitation includes supporting documentation such as a Performance Work Statement, price template, and main solicitation document to guide potential contractors in their proposal preparation.
