R -- STRATEGIC COMPLIANCE MODEL PHASE 5 SOL TIRNO-00-R-00027 DUE 062900 POC Paul Attorri, Contract Specialist, Phone 202-283-1103, Fax 202-283-1514, Email paul.a.attorri@irs.gov WEB: Visit this URL for the latest information about this, http://www.eps.gov/cgi-bin/WebObjects/EPS?ACode=P&ProjID=TIRNO-00-R-00 027&LocID=1764. E-MAIL: Paul Attorri, paul.a.attorri@irs.gov. The IRS is beginning the fifth phase of development in the Strategic Compliance Planning Model (SCPM) to assist IRS senior management with budget allocation, workforce management, and workload targeting decisions. In phases 1 and 2, the IRS developed and enhanced a workload driven resource allocation engine (meaning workload prioritization drives the resource allocation process). In phase 3, we developed a workforce engine, where IRS workforce decisions to hire, promote, or to transition resources from one position to another drive the selection of workload. The workload engine and the workforce engine run independently, but work in conjunction with each other through an engine manager. A prototype engine manager with limited functionality (ability to call each engine) was also developed as part of phase 3. In the fourth phase, the IRS implemented automated linkages between the two engines through the engine manage to "optimize" the allocation of resources. In phase 4, IRS improved the productivity calculations estimated in the workload engine and used by the simplex algorithm in the workforce engine. For Phase 5, IRS seeks to extend the SCPM framework and algorithms to support the latest organizational changes and enable dynamic user modification of workforce and workload data. In addition, the IRS seeks modifications to the engines and engine managers to retrieve the results of SCPM. Finally, IRS seeks a representation of the major input data and assumptions to support what-if analyses. The IRS intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, IntelEngine, Inc., under authority of FAR 6.302-1. IntelEngine is the only known source who can satisfy agency requirements in this case. Additionally, even if another vendor had the capability to satisfy the agency's requirements, IntelEngine is the original source for this planned follow-on contract for the development of the highly specialized IRS Strategic Compliance Planning Model. Award to any other source would likely include substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition, as another vendor would require substantial startup costs as the new vendor became familiar with the current model, while requiring the Govt. to pay the new vendor to learn what has already been accomplished for this complex model. Numbered Note 22 applies. Posted 05/15/00 (D-SN454802). (0136)
