The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is inviting industry to submit bids on a new potential seven-year, $1.9 billion blanket purchase agreement to provide end-to-end program management support as well as to deliver enterprise-level information technologies solutions.
IRS wants interested parties to send in their proposals by Dec. 11 to support the Enterprise Program Project Integration System (EPPIS).
“The IRS is seeking contractor support to provide a full range of delivery services necessary to support program technical and management approaches, organizational resources, and management controls in alignment with program cost, performance requirements and scheduling demands for the EPMO, delivery partners and other business stakeholders,” said the agency.
The new contract is part of the agency’s $80 billion effort to modernize its technology systems – some of which were stood up in the 1960s and use outdated coding methods – to deliver a better customer experience for taxpayers.
“To assist EPMO in its mission, the IRS requires professional expertise to provide end-to-end program management support to deliver enterprise-level information technologies capabilities,” stated the agency.
