REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) - Tax Software Acquisition and Support

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of providing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tax software solutions and associated services. The IRS requires software and services to support corporate tax analysis, income tax planning and forecasting, compatibility with IRS systems and taxpayer-submitted data, and ongoing compliance with evolving federal tax laws. The scope of the project includes software licensing, maintenance, technical support, integration services, and training to support mission-critical compliance and enforcement activities. Key capability areas include technical support, integration and interoperability, software maintenance, training, security, and compliance. • The IRS is seeking information on vendor capabilities to provide COTS tax software comparable to Corporate Tax Analyzer (CTA) and Income Tax Planner (ITP). • Vendors should demonstrate capabilities in technical support, integration, software maintenance, training, and security. • The IRS requires scalable licensing for approximately 3,500 users for corporate tax analysis and 300 users for tax planning. • The project includes software maintenance, updates, and enhancements, as well as multi-tier technical support and help desk services.
