COMBINED PRE-SOLICITATION and INDUSTRY DAY NOTICE



Integrated Enterprise Portals (IEP) 2.0



This notice does not obligate the IRS/OITA to award a contract, nor does it commit the IRS/OITA to pay any cost incurred in the preparation and submission of proposals.



The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking Vendors to provide services and support in the transformation of our web portals, referred to as the Integrated Enterprise Portals (IEP) 2.0. The IRS seeks a qualified Managed Service Provider (MSP) to deliver, operate, and manage the IEP services and to evolve IEP services as needed to support the changing dynamics of the many requirements due to Congressional mandates placed on the IRS. The IEP MSP provides the IRS with secure application hosting services, allowing it to deliver business functionality to its various stakeholders, including taxpayers, tax preparers, and employees. The IEP MSP delivers these services through fully scalable, virtualized environments and cloud services that are dedicated to the IRS. The IEP provides fully integrated core services, including IT infrastructure, operations, security, application, integration and support, and program management services, to establish a fully integrated robust platform that supports multiple workloads, also referred to as Portals and major applications, and application styles.



Additionally, the Government expects the MSP support to provide fully managed, scalable hosting services for applications that are accessed by IRS’ external stakeholders and its internal customers. The selected Contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, hardware, software, equipment, materials, communications, facilities, and other necessary IT infrastructure to implement, deploy, operate, manage, and support the IEP-hosted applications and services in a Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) moderate secure environment, as well as its underlying technology infrastructure. The IEP 2.0 contract will be the primary digital gateway and platform connecting taxpayers, third parties, tax practitioners, and employees to the IRS. This requirement will be solicited via the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) Program, under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541512, Computer Systems Design Services. The Government intends to issue a single award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The anticipated period of performance includes a Twelve (12) month Base period with Four (4) Twelve (12) month Option periods and up to a potential three (3) additional Twelve (12) month Award Terms based the selected Vendor’s Exceptional performance.



IEP 2.0 Industry Day



This announcement also serves as notification of the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) intent to hold an IEP 2.0 Industry Day on June 13th, 2023 from 2:00pm – 3:30pm Eastern Standard Time. The Industry Day will be an opportunity for the IRS to share the latest status on this requirement as well as provide Industry the opportunity to ask questions regarding the DRAFT Performance Work Statement and Current State of the IEP Systems and Services which is being released with this announcement.



The IRS is requesting no more than Two (2) participants per company participate in this event (due in part to anticipated interest and IRS’ Microsoft (MS) Teams capacity). If you have interest in attending these events, please send an email to the Contracting Officer, Sherry E. Carpenter at Sherry.E.Carpenter@irs.gov and the Contract Specialist, Shanell S. Davis, CPCM/CFCM at Shanell.S.Davis@irs.gov .

An MS Teams and/or teleconference link will be provided to attendees 24 - 48 hours prior to the event date.
