- Description
- The Internal Revenue Service has two objectives for submitting this notice. The first objective is to obtain public and private comments on the DRAFT Performance Work Statement (PWS) for an A-76 Competitive Sourcing Study for Files Activities. The Government is currently performing this work. Currently, individual and business tax returns are processed in the IRS Submission Processing Centers (SPC) and delivered to the Files Activity for storage. The Files Activity is composed of 10 different geographic locations that are used to organize and store millions of individual and business paper tax returns and related documents processed each year. Each location houses the returns from eight weeks to a year, depending on the space available for storage. At the end of the storage period, the documents are retired to a Federal Records Center (FRC) managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Customers consist of individual taxpayers to federal officials who can request copies or originals of those documents in the custody of the Files Activity or documents retired to FRC. Obtaining and delivering those tax documents and related information is the majority of the workload accomplished. The Government will consider all information received when preparing a final PWS; however, any and all changes are at the sole discretion of the Government. In addition to comments to the draft PWS, please address the following: (1) Proposal preparation period. Provide the length of time you believe you will need to prepare a proposal to adequately address all requirements; (2) Provide appropriate performance incentives. Provide possible performance incentives and the advantages and disadvantages of each suggested incentive; and (3) Any additional information you need from the IRS that would assist you in pursuing this effort as a business opportunity. Any information provided is voluntary. As such, the Government will not cover any costs for any information or inquiry submitted as a result of this request. Should the Government have questions regarding individual responses, the responder will be contacted for further information. Please include the name of a point of contact, e-mail address and telephone number of this person. This is a DRAFT PWS and should not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a FORMAL RFP, RFQ or contract. Response to the RFI will not serve as proposals, bids, or offers, which could be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The DRAFT PWS is available at the following IRS internet site: http://www.procurement.irs.treas.gov (under Business Opportunities). All comments regarding the PWS and associated documents should be e-mailed to awss.fileact@irs.gov. Only electronic comments will be accepted. The second objective is to assess set-aside possibilities. Interested parties shall also include a cover letter that includes company name, points of contact, telephone numbers, fax numbers, e-mail addresses for points of contact, prime or sub-contractor interest, and identifies the company as one or more of the following: (1) small business, (2) 8(a) business, (3) HUBZone small business, (4) small disadvantaged business, (5) woman-owned small business, (6) veteran-owned small business, (7) service disabled veteran-owned small business, or (8) large business. The acquisition under this A-76 Competitive Sourcing study will be conducted under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), 561110, Office Administrative Services, with a small business size standard of $6.0 million. Teaming arrangements, subcontracting and mentor prot?g? programs are encouraged. Therefore, please identify your interest in either being a Prime or Sub-contractor for this requirement. Please note: A SOLICITATION DOES NOT EXIST AT THIS TIME. All comments should be provided via e-mail no later than December 15, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Only electronic responses sent to the following e-mail address will be accepted. E-mail address is awss.fileact@irs.gov. E-mail responses requiring more than 5 megabytes of memory must be sent as separate files.
