IRS Guidance for Lapse in Appropriations

The IRS has provided guidance related to its contracts in the event of a lapse in government appropriations. They will publish a list identifying current contracts along with their status as excepted or non-excepted, which determines how they will be handled during a funding lapse. Contract holders are advised to review this list and accompanying supplemental letters that outline the specific actions to be taken based on their contract’s designation. For any inquiries or further clarifications, contract holders are encouraged to contact the IRS customer service via the provided email address. This guidance, identified under solicitation number IRS040811-1, pertains to contracts falling under the NAICS code 541611 and aims to assist contract holders in understanding their obligations and the operational status of their contracts in the event that government funding is temporarily unavailable. The point of contact for further information is Jodie L Paustian, reachable by phone or email. Additional details and updates about the contracts and their status can be accessed through the official IRS contract portal online.
