COMMERICIAL SUBSCRIPTION DATABASE

The Internal Revenue Service is seeking a commercially available subscription database solution equivalent in capability to Pollstar to support the Central Withholding Agreement program, which analyzes tax compliance for nonresident alien artists and athletes performing in the United States. The solution must provide full system access to all data, tools, and features available to commercial customers, including the ability to save searches and reports, export data with consistent formatting compatible with Microsoft Office applications, and deliver information through a unified platform interface. The system must maintain data accuracy and currency equal to industry standards, update at the same frequency as provided to commercial subscribers, and ensure at least 99% uptime excluding scheduled maintenance, with queries and reports returning results within five seconds under normal conditions. Proposals must clearly demonstrate equivalency to Pollstar’s functional and operational characteristics if offering an alternative product, with the Government evaluating commercial literature, technical documentation, demonstrations, trial access, and customer support information to determine acceptability. Failure to meet these salient requirements will result in a technically unacceptable determination. The contract has an estimated performance period of five years, beginning with a base year from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, and including four optional one-year extensions through June 30, 2031. Vendors must provide full system access no later than the start of the base year period, and invoicing must be submitted annually in advance through the Invoice Processing Platform at www.ipp.gov with the contract number included on all invoices. The place of performance is DWG, Texas, and there is no Government-furnished property or security requirements associated with this procurement. This is a sources-sought notice issued under NAICS code 519290, with proposals due by June 10, 2026, and the Department of the Treasury’s Taxpayer Focused Support office, located in Washington, D.C., serving as the procuring agency. The contracting officer representative is TBD, and award will be based solely on technical acceptability, with no weighted evaluation factors or pricing details specified, as this is a pre-solicitation activity to determine market availability.
