This is a Request for Information (RFI), not a purchase order or a commitment to purchase. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and does not commit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to award a contract now or in the future. This document shall not be construed as a request or authorization to perform work at government's expense. Any expense incurred in and associated with responding to this RFI shall be borne exclusively by the respondent. No cost shall be charged to the government for any reason. The IRS is a bureau of the Department of the Treasury and one of the world's most efficient tax administrators. The mission of the Return Preparer Office (RPO) is to improve taxpayer compliance by providing comprehensive oversight of tax professionals. RPO oversees registration, testing, suitability and continuing education (CE) programs for certain groups of tax professionals. It is mandatory that these tax professionals take CE courses from IRS-approved CE providers. Learn more at: http://www.irs.gov/Tax-Professionals. Our current contract is scheduled to expire 31 August 2021. In preparation for possibly awarding a follow-on contract, the IRS is interested in learning about innovative technologies and methods in application development related to the 16 requirements cited below (see attached PDF). Time permitting, the IRS may offer to meet with the respondents in-person to discuss information contained in their response. It is understood that should the respondent accept our invitation to meet, all expenses incurred by the respondent as a result shall be borne by the respondent.
