The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) concerning its need for roll paper to support its Correspondence Production Services (CPS). This RFI is intended for market research purposes only and does not commit the government to a future purchasing agreement. The IRS is seeking vendors who can supply 17-inch wide, 50-inch diameter rolls of 20 lbs. bond paper, which must include a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste, and meet specified packaging, palleting, and moisture-proof wrapping requirements.
Interested parties are encouraged to submit information regarding their capabilities, although the IRS will not reimburse any costs incurred during this process. Responses must adhere to specific formatting guidelines and be submitted via email by April 6, 2025. All information submitted will become government property and will not be returned. Queries must be directed to the IRS by March 26, 2025. The document emphasizes that this RFI does not obligate the IRS to award a contract, and participation does not guarantee involvement in future solicitations. The goal of this RFI is to inform potential procurement strategies based on vendor capabilities and product offerings.
