The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is seeking input from qualified small businesses regarding Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions, including data inventory and tagging services. This request for information is intended solely for market research and acquisition planning purposes, as the agency evaluates the feasibility of small business participation and the optimal contract structure for upcoming requirements in EDM.

Interested parties are invited to review the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) and provide feedback to help clarify any ambiguities in the scope of work. The IRS encourages detailed industry comments to inform future acquisition strategy, especially relating to capabilities in computer systems design services under NAICS code 541512. All information provided will be used internally for planning and will not be disclosed outside the IRS.

This is not a solicitation or a request for proposal, and no contract will be awarded as a result of this notice. The IRS also will not accept oral presentations, and interested businesses are advised to carefully review and respond to the specific questions and documentation provided. The response window is short, with a projected award date of January 11, 2026, and no anticipated extension for responses.
