- Description
- The IRS Office of Information Technology Acquisitions (OITA) negotiated a sole source purchase order for brand name DocBridge Proxy, DocBridge Mill Plus, DocBridge Toolkit, and Compart professional services with: Westwind, Inc.; 5655 Jefferson Blvd NE, Ste B; Albuquerque, New Mexico 87109. The Notice Conversion (NOTCON) team prepares and delivers many types of Notices to the taxpayers. The xPression tool is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) application used to create notices and emits Advanced Function Print (AFP) jobs. A single AFP file may contain 1000�s of individual notices.��In the current environment, the AFP jobs are sent as-is to the Case Processing System (CPS) Notice Delivery System (NDS). NDS receives the AFP files, and handles all aspects of trackable print and mail production. As part of ongoing Taxpayer Digital Correspondence (TDC) initiatives, the NOTCON team has been exploring creation of HTML, XML files, and PDF files for use in the archive. The most efficient and effective means to create alternative file types is by using the AFP output generated from the OpenText xPression notice composition tool set, which is currently used by the service to generate a variety of taxpayer correspondences. This action resulted in a Firm Fix Priced purchase order with a one�(1) 12 months base period. The NAICS code is 541519. This announcement is in accordance with FAR 6.302. The point of contact is Mr. Carlos R. Kinsman, Contracting Officer, e-mail: Carlos.Kinsman@irs.gov. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.

Responses to this notice must be emailed to Carlos R. Kinsman at Carlos.Kinsman@irs.gov. All responses must be received no later than Noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Friday, June 25th, 2021 and will be considered by the Government. All information submitted should support the offeror's capability to provide the services required and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government.
