- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. Solicitation TIRNO-10-Q-00000 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price Contract for the Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) attached. Provisions and clauses in effect through FAC 2005-35 are incorporated into this RFQ. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541511 Custom Computer Programming Services. This is an RFQ and brand name justification to procure Softeon Annual Software Maintenance for the Enterprise Logistics Information Technology (ELITE) System. Soften was the only software to be found to meet all of the needs of the IRS.

Please provide your response with a base year and 3 one-year options, through September 30, 2013. The Softeon Software is already installed and operating in the IRS environment as described above.
