Description

INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE ACQUISITION

The Internal Revenue Service intends to award a sole source purchase order to Response Systems Limited for the Annual Maintenance for Access Gen License for the Redesigned Revenue Accounting Control System (RRACS), or ‘Access Gen’, since 2011. Its use as a development tool facilitates existing processes such as creating subsets for download or for aggregating sets for migration. The service reduces project bottlenecks to ensure traditional pitfalls of development are avoided. It maximizes the development team efficiency. Access Gen supports (TSO) CA Gen projects by increasing productivity by greater than 10%. This TSO based mainframe application has features specifically targeted at giving Host Encyclopedia development teams immediate access to the information that is required for day-to-day use which updates without the need to download. The period of performance for this requirement is 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2031 using FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement" as the authority permitting the sole source acquisition.
