The Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigation division is seeking a web-based subscription service designed to uncover the true ownership of nominee entities, both domestic and foreign, when those entities are leveraged to facilitate criminal activity. This investigative tool must provide real-time or near-real-time capabilities to trace complex ownership structures that obscure beneficial owners, helping law enforcement and financial investigators penetrate layers of shell companies and illicit financial networks. The system is intended to support compliance and enforcement efforts by delivering actionable intelligence on hidden ownership tied to tax evasion, money laundering, and other financial crimes. The contract is forecasted under NAICS code 519210, indicating it relates to other information services, and is anticipated to be awarded through a non-set-aside procurement. The point of contact for the acquisition includes Christi Edwards as the Bureau Point of Contact and Tamela Hernandez as the Program Office Point of Contact. Although the solicitation has not yet been released, the posting date indicates the government is preparing for future procurement activity, with potential opportunities for vendors offering advanced data analytics, open-source intelligence, or proprietary databases capable of cross-referencing global corporate registries, beneficial ownership filings, and financial records to expose illicit structures. The service must function effectively across international jurisdictions and comply with U.S. legal and privacy standards while maintaining accuracy and scalability for high-volume investigative use.
