AI Contract Overview
The Department of Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting a market research effort to identify potential contractors capable of supporting their Net Rate Netting (NRN) interest computation processes. The IRS currently relies on its internal staff to perform complex interest calculations related to taxpayer requests for netting, which involve intricate knowledge of interest laws, IRS transaction data, and relevant legislation. Due to recent staffing attrition and the complexity of these cases, the IRS seeks contractor assistance to verify and compute NRN requests efficiently, aiming to complete reviews within 60 to 90 days. The contractor's role will involve using existing interest computation software, such as ACT/DMI or equivalent tools, to verify calculations, assess the timeliness and completeness of submissions, and determine whether requests should be approved, adjusted, or denied based on statutory limitations and other relevant factors. This Sources Sought notice is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of future contracts. The government emphasizes that responses will not be reimbursed and that proprietary information provided will be protected according to applicable regulations. All data submitted will become the property of the IRS. The effort is focused on supporting the IRS's ability to accurately verify taxpayer requests related to overpaid or underpaid interest, ensuring compliance with the Internal Revenue Code, particularly IRC sections 6621(d), 6501, and 6511. The contract, if pursued, will be conducted in Lanham, Maryland, and the deadline for responses is October 9, 2024.

BACKGROUND:
The Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of Servicewide Interest (OSI), supports all IRS functions performing Net Rate Netting (NRN) manual interest computation work, which includes verifying and re-computing NRN requests submitted by taxpayers.
IRS government employees currently perform complex interest computations for NRN requests filed by taxpayers. Computations may include standard/frequent calculations to verify amounts requested on Form 843 requests for netting. To properly complete computations, it requires knowledge of all interest law, legislation impacting interest, as well as knowledge of IRS transactions, ability to read IRS transcripts, and understand how posted transactions can impact the netting computation. This requires an in-depth knowledge of procedures for claiming a refund of overpaid underpayment interest or requesting the allowance of additional overpayment interest.
Recent attrition and the complexity of these cases requires Contractor support and assistance with these computations. The goal is for a streamlined process where the NRN requests can be reviewed, verified, and a determination made within 60-90 days.
The IRS is seeking to obtain Contractor support and assistance for sensitive taxpayer information to provide NRN computations, Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 6621(d) application, compute and verify NRN computations using the current interest computation brand name Automated Computational Tool (ACT)/Decision Modeling Inc. (DMI) software (or equivalent). The computations included in the taxpayer’s netting request shall be verified using an internal interest computation software.
This support would provide the Government with computations to verify NRN submissions received on behalf of taxpayers and amounts claimed on Forms 843. These cases must be reviewed for timeliness and completeness, considering all factors including statute of limitation periods under IRC 6501 and IRC 6511, which will be used to determine if the NRN requests should be allowed in full, adjusted or denied.
