- Description
- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to solicit and award a contract for twenty (20) brand name CCH TeamMate Suite B Licenses – Version 9.0.1.2 for a period of one year in accordance with FAR 6.302, which authorizes other than full and open competition when there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The IRS has a need for CCH TeamMate Software Licenses for an audit management system in support of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Corporate Planning and Internal Controls (CPIC). CCH TeamMate Brand Software is the industry standard in Audit Management Systems, and is currently being used by Treasury Office of Inspector General (OIG) and TIGTA. This allows compatibility and efficiency gains because it allows the transfer of files without conversion and the understanding of the CCH TeamMate software by external auditors reducing the possibility of audit documentation findings against the IRS. Obtaining a clean audit opinion is one of the highest priorities of the IRS. Interested sources must submit their quotes and information that demonstrates their ability to meet the above requirements, no later than September 22, 2010 at 3 PM, EST. Electronic mail transmissions of quotes are preferred, to Tara Burfening, Contracting Officer at Tara.L.Burfening@irs.gov; fax number 202-283-1290. The software must be in place by the October 1, 2010 production implementation for use in the FY2011 audit. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written RFQ will not be issued. Contractors interested in this requirement should submit clear and convincing evidence that they can meet the Government’s requirement. The resulting purchase order shall be awarded based on technical acceptability and price. All interested businesses are requested to submit a written quotation which will be considered by the agency.
