The Internal Revenue Service is forecasting a recompete contract for the acquisition of two IBM z15 mainframe systems, including a base period and four optional years, with initial hardware maintenance obligations beginning on June 14, 2022. This procurement is part of a long-term technology renewal effort under NAICS code 541519, indicating it relates to other computer-related services, likely encompassing both hardware provision and ongoing support. The Chief Information Officer’s office is managing the acquisition, with Trina Benson and Kathy Pham designated as key points of contact for bureau and program office inquiries, respectively. The contract does not specify a solicitation number or set-aside details, and the place of performance and organizational address information is not provided, but the maintenance and operational responsibilities are clearly scheduled to commence in mid-2022, suggesting the hardware procurement and deployment are already underway or recently completed.
