Notice ID: 24-002-OITA

The Applications Development (AD) Organization is responsible for building, unit testing, delivering, and maintaining integrated applications systems to support modernized and legacy systems in production. As the development organization for systems that manage taxpayer accounts, AD is a key component of tax processing/filing season activities.

Through the adoption of a Rapid Delivery Model for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Information Technology, AD is leading the way to world class collaboration with business organizations and IT delivery partners. The AD Technical Integration Organization (TIO) was stood up to provide strategic technical direction within the Organization and ensure guidance and consolidation for tactical issues of a technical nature. The goal of the program is to provide integrated technical direction across the AD portfolio adhering to the IRS Guiding Principles and drive activities in alignment with the Information Technology (IT) Roadmap and AD Vision.

The TIO vision is to identify, understand, and close technical gaps within AD; provide technical leadership and communication across AD and TIO Service Delivery Partners. This approach is intended to break down barriers toward driving efficiency and consistency of standards and practices across the AD portfolio. One of the newest initiatives to be bestowed to the TIO is the creation and implementation of the IRS Application Programming Interface (API) strategy. To achieve this mission, the TIO is entrusting one of its branches, Application Innovation Branch (AIB), to tackle this initiative…

The Contractor shall develop, document, and maintain program, project, and transition plans during the life of the plan.
