THIS IS A REQUEST FOR PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION ONLY. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract on the basis of this request. Responses to this request will NOT serve as proposals, bids or offers which could be accepted by the Government in the form of a binding contract. Responses will assist the Government in its market research to determine whether to, in accordance with applicable law, set-aside, restrict competition, or solicit offers from all responsible sources. In order for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to assess set-aside possibilities, interested parties should identify their company as one or more of the following: small business, 8(a), HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned business, veteran-owned small business, service disabled veteran-owned small business or large business.
The IRS is in the pre-procurement phase for the acquisition of electronic research services for tax law, legal, business, and news information. During this phase and as part of market research, the IRS is seeking interested vendors with electronic research services capabilities to provide a product demonstration during the week of May 13, 2024. The draft statement of work from the previously posted RFI is included with this posting for reference purposes in addition to the summary of services below. The IRS is interested in learning about the current capabilities of the marketplace applicable to, potentially expanding on, the SOW. To save travel costs, demonstrations are to be conducted via a web-conferencing service such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc. Prior to the demonstration, the vendor will coordinate with the Program Analyst to ensure Internal Revenue Service attendees are able to access the web-conferencing tool that will be employed for the demonstration.
In general, vendors are requested to fully demonstrate how the content and functionality of their product will satisfy the Agency's diverse population of users and research requirements. Interested vendors will have a 60-minute time frame to demonstrate their product(s). There will be an IRS Question & Answer period following each demonstration. All interested parties shall contact Carlisa Sanders, Email Carlisa.J.Sanders@irs.gov, to schedule an appointment. Interested parties shall email their availability for demonstrations by the close of this notice and identify their top three preferred times. The IRS will attempt to accommodate requested times when scheduling demonstrations, but does not guarantee requests will be accommodated. Please advise if special presentation needs are required so that the appropriate accommodations can be made.
Summary of services:
The IRS has a wide range of diverse users with different and unique tax, legal, business and news research requirements.
