The Internal Revenue Service is issuing this sources sought for two purposes. The first purpose is to seek capabilities statements from firms, including but not limited to, small, small disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses interested in providing relocation management services for the IRS throughout the United States. The second purpose is to assess whether these services can be procured using the Commercial Items procedures in FAR Part 12 and, if so, what constitutes standard commercial practices, terms and conditions. It is anticipated that the IRS will award multiple task order contracts to fulfill this requirement. Contracts will be for five years with a maximum of $5,000,000 per year. Decisions regarding geographical coverage for these contracts have not been made, meaning we are undecided as to whether each contractor will be required to perform services throughout the United States or if contracts will be awarded for specific geographical regions.
