IRS-EA-4363-RFI

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for market research, planning

and information purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government to issue

a subsequent solicitation (Request for Proposal, etc.). This RFI does not commit the U.S. Government to

contract for any supply or service. IRS is not seeking proposals at this time. Further, IRS will not accept

unsolicited proposals in response to this RFI. Participants in this market research are advised that the

U.S. Government will not pay any costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with

responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Responses to this RFI will be used

to identify potential sources, vehicles and set asides for specific small business classifications. Therefore,

while not responding to this RFI does not directly preclude a vendor from participating in a future

solicitation, not responding to this RFI could impact procurement decisions that affect a vendor’s ability

to participate in future solicitation(s). There is no funding set aside for this requirement at the time of

this RFI.

IRS may use the responses to this RFI in developing a procurement strategy. IRS will weigh the capability,

quality and expected lifecycle of the proposed solutions, technical environment, flexibility and

adaptability to future needs, the quality of the implementation plan, time to implement, total cost of

ownership of the system, and the level of risk in consideration of the formal procurement strategy. The

information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the U.S. Government. All

submissions become the property of the U.S. Government and will not be returned. Responses to the RFI

may be used to develop U.S. Government documentation. Responses to this RFI may be reviewed by U.S.

Government technical experts drawn from staff within IRS and other Federal agencies.
