Certara AI Air-Gapped Software Licensing

The contract entails the procurement and deployment of four air-gapped instances of Certara AI software, encompassing both Web and Cortex Applications, specifically configured for secure offline operation by the IRS RAAS team. These installations will strictly function in isolated environments without internet connectivity to meet stringent security protocols, ensuring sensitive taxpayer and regulatory data remains protected from external threats. The software will be fully installed, configured, and validated in Cincinnati to support mission-critical analytical workflows in a controlled, secure setting. The agreement is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 513210, which categorizes it under software publishing, and is administered by the Taxpayer Focused Support office within the Department of the Treasury. Although no solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, the deployment location is clearly designated as Cincinnati, with all software instances requiring full air-gapped compliance prior to operational use. The contract was posted on July 10, 2026, and the procurement is focused exclusively on enabling secure, offline AI-driven capabilities for IRS operations without any reliance on cloud or networked services.
