- Description
- The Internal Revenue Service intend to issue a purchase order on a sole source basis to B. Erard & Associates, 2350 Swaps Court, Reston, VA, for development of an alternative tax scoring methodology. The IRS has relied on a discriminant analysis ("DIF") methodology to guide workload selection. This methodology employs examination data concerning the likelihood of a substantial assessment to develop a prediction formula that effectively discriminates between returns with substantial audit potential and returns with little or no potential. Under a previous requirement, B. Erard & Associates developed an alternative workload selection methodology that differs from the DIF approach in several respects. Under this requirement, B. Erard & Associates will undertake a study to refine its previous methodology, both to improve its performance and to facilitate its evaluation vis-a-vis the current IRS methodology; refine its methodology for variable selection with special attention to three areas; Refine its specification of explanatory variables and apply its workload selection methodology to Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Program (TCMP) data pertaining to two selected examination classes from one tax year. All responsible sources who can provide the above requirement shall submit written capability no later than 15 days from posted date of this announcement. Contractor submitting a response should demonstrate the following qualifications: (1) a working knowledge of TCMP and AIMS data; (2) extensive experience in tax compliance studies, especially involving the evaluation of workload selection; and (3) a well-established track record in econometric analysis techniques. All responses shall include FOB point; a POC (name and telephone number); GSA contract number if applicable; and business size. Responses over 10 pages in total will not be accepted by facsimile. All questions must be submitted in writing and received by facsimile on (202) 283-1511 or mail. If no responses are received, the award will be made to B. Erard & Associates. See Note 1.
