A research request was recently provided to OS AI from an equity backed mid-tier consulting firm focused on digital strategy and business transformation looking for details related to an upcoming RFP expected out of the Department of the Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service to stand up a new 5-year multiple-award development support blanket purchase agreement with an emphasis on agile, test-driven development, and continuous integration methodologies to assist and enhance efforts to secure new applications. 

We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details provided by the requestor; 2) some key points of contact; and 3) related pursuit/capture data.  

The Ask: Please share additional details and insights related to this planned IRS RFP “to provide development support with an emphasis on agile, test-driven development, and continuous integration methodologies to assist and enhance efforts to secure new applications. Can you also please share details related to the expiring Agile Web Support Services BPA, the contract holders and spend to date on that BPA.” 

OS AI Note: The latest details we have seen state that, after cancelling the solicitation last year, the RFP is now expected to be released sometime in Q4 of FY 2023. It is still anticipated that this will be a multiple award, with at least one spot being reserved for small business. The contract is expected to be 5 years in duration. We are aware of several small businesses which are actively trying to influence this requirement to ensure that multiple small businesses receive an award.  

** Please note that OS AI will not speculate here as to the accuracy of any scope details provided and/or any current plans related to the timing, details, and likelihood of any competition.
