- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT. The purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of potential vendors with the capability of possessing the technological data and the ability necessary to maintain the Multi-Functional Document Handling System equipment in accordance with the BB&H requirements. A review of the responses to this sources sought announcement will assist the Government in determining if competitive procurement should be conducted. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has a continuing requirement for the on-site maintenance and repair services for eight (8) IRS Multi-Functional Document Handling Systems (MDHS/MUFFY) located at the seven (7) IRS Submission Processing Campuses (SPC). MUFFY is a Bowe Bell & Howell (BB&H) Mail-Star 500 Inserters equipment. This BB&H equipment contains proprietary software, firmware, and hardware and electronic system designs to process outgoing mail on a daily basis. The MUFFY inserter systems are used to cut, fold, insert, out-sort file or suspense copies, and sort finished mail pieces by weight. These systems are used in the main stream processing of tax returns and related taxpayer correspondence, thereby making their scheduled operation critical to the overall continued tax processing flow within the IRS SPC’s daily outgoing mail. The MUFFY equipment and maintenance and repair services were purchased under a competitive acquisition roughly 20 years ago using IRS contract TIR-88-0410 with Bell & Howell. This follow-on acquisition is for the extension of maintenance and repair services for the equipment for an anticipated 60 month performance period (a Base Year, and four (4) one (1)-year Option Periods). Interested firms are required to submit a capabilities statement showing they have the technological data and ability necessary to maintain this equipment in accordance with BB&H requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for proposals, and will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The response shall be sent to the following email address: Lynette.B.Fadiya@irs.gov. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. ONLY WRITTEN REQUESTS WILL BE REVIEWED.
