The IRS is interested in firms capable of providing architectural, technical advisory, and support services related to the EDP program. Responses are requested in two parts: company profile information and a detailed description of capabilities, including experiences with data platforms, data models, NoSQL databases, and the ability to handle sensitive data. The RFI specifies required documentation, inquiries about previous experiences, and company qualifications, while also allowing for feedback on the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). The document emphasizes that this RFI does not obligate the government to award contracts and that responses are not binding. It aims to understand the market landscape for technical solutions before any potential solicitation is published. Participants must refrain from submitting any proposals and focus only on providing the requested information to facilitate the IRS's market research efforts.
