The Clean Energy Solution Development Services (CE-SDS) Performance Work Statement outlines the objectives, tasks, and requirements for supporting the IRS's implementation of clean energy initiatives under the Inflation Reduction Act. The primary goal is to establish an agile core program management team to enhance operational efficiency, decision-making, and compliance with new energy security mandates. Key task areas include support for program management (PMO), deployment readiness, engineering, cybersecurity, and fraud detection. The contractor is responsible for facilitating agile methodologies, managing risks, ensuring organizational readiness, and providing ongoing maintenance for clean energy solutions. Deliverables include governance reports, configuration management audits, and various compliance documents, all intended to support seamless transitions to operational support. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to fostering clean energy while achieving accountability and transparency in IT services.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a Sources Sought Notice to gather information for the development of a Clean Energy (CE) solution aimed at providing taxpayers with certificates for tax credits and deductions related to renewable energy investments. This Notice, initiated on December 12, 2024, seeks vendors capable of delivering technical, management, and quality control services involving software development, integration, cybersecurity, and system architecture design. The IRS intends to create a cloud-based solution using agile methodologies to enhance workflow and streamline tax credit processing. Respondents are requested to provide company profiles, capabilities, and insights into potential subcontracting arrangements without including proposals or bids. The document outlines the required information for responses and emphasizes that participation does not guarantee contract obligations. The anticipated solution aims to ease the sharing of data across various user groups, improve efficiency, and ultimately better serve IRS customers. The request highlights the government's interest in leveraging modern technology and operational improvements to comply with legislative mandates surrounding clean energy initiatives.
The file outlines a "Sources Sought" request for companies interested in providing clean energy services within a government context. It specifies the required company profile information, such as company classification (small or large business), technical contact details, applicable NAICS codes, and a listing of active government contracts. In Part II, it assesses technical capabilities, including whether companies can perform the services required, their previous experience, need for subcontracting, and specific technology skills in Low-Code/No-Code platforms like Pega and Salesforce.
The document encourages companies to detail their pricing recommendations, labor categories relevant to the scope, and agile team structuring for project delivery. It also asks for insights related to cloud technology capabilities and personnel qualifications, specifically regarding Department of Treasury clearance. The focus is on evaluating potential vendors' qualifications and insight to assist in developing an effective RFP for clean energy projects. This document is part of a broader effort by the government to gather information from industry players to ensure qualified proposals for future solicitations, emphasizing the importance of technology experience in project implementation.
