Treasury Cloud (TCloud) Services (UPDATE)

Purchase Agency: IRS Procurement Office
The IRS Procurement Office is purchasing Treasury Cloud (TCloud) services. The purpose of this acquisition is to meet the cloud service needs of various Treasury Offices and Bureaus. The current approach of using an existing IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) contract does not allow for the required contractual functionality and makes administration difficult for each ordering entity. Therefore, the IRS is seeking a new stand-alone contract or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide the necessary cloud services.

Work to be Acquired: The work to be acquired includes the provision of cloud services under the General Services Administration (GSA) Cloud Services Special Item Number (SIN) 518210C. Offerors are encouraged to propose a complete solution by using other complementing SINs, such as IT Professional Services. The acquisition strategy involves a single award BPA solicited under GSA eBuy, with a predominantly Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract type and some limited Labor Hour (LH) CLINs.

Timeframe and Place of Performance: The period of performance for this acquisition is 5 years with award terms. The draft solicitation is expected to be released in early to middle 2nd quarter FY22, with a solicitation response timeframe of 10 to 20 business days. The place of performance is the Washington, DC metropolitan area.

Notable Information: The evaluation approach for this acquisition will involve multiple phases, including minimum eligibility requirements and past performance evaluation, demonstrated corporate experience through oral presentations, and evaluation of technical approach, management approach, key personnel, and sample tasks. Price information will also be provided during the evaluation process. Small business goals and a requirement for a small business subcontracting plan will be included in the final solicitation. Interested parties have until December 3, 2021, to provide final comments on the acquisition approach.

Overall, this acquisition opportunity presents a significant contract for cloud services to meet the needs of various Treasury Offices and Bureaus. The IRS is seeking a new contract or BPA to ensure the required contractual functionality and effective administration. Interested parties are encouraged to review the upcoming solicitation for detailed instructions and requirements.
