Courtney D. Seace

Courtney D. Seace serves as a key procurement professional within Operation Services at the Internal Revenue Service, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize tax administration through efficient, technology-driven solutions. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in information technology and administrative services, Seace specializes in procuring custom software development, data analytics platforms, and operational consulting services that enhance compliance systems and digital infrastructure. Their work directly enables IRS mission-critical modernization initiatives, ensuring that technical acquisitions align with federal procurement standards and strategic operational goals. Seace maintains longstanding relationships with leading information providers including WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION and BLOOMBERG INDUSTRY GROUP, INC., leveraging their specialized tax law content, regulatory databases, and analytical tools to support IRS enforcement and taxpayer services. These vendor partnerships reflect a preference for established industry experts capable of delivering high-integrity, mission-specific content and systems integration services. The working relationship is characterized by sustained contract performance, iterative requirements refinement, and a focus on scalable, secure solutions that meet federal information security and data governance standards. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted under open competition—75% with no set-aside—Seace consistently allocates 25% of contract opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation without compromising technical requirements. This balanced approach ensures competitive diversity while maintaining the quality and reliability essential to IRS operations. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 519190 (Other Information Services), reflecting a primary focus on content aggregation, tax research platforms, and regulatory intelligence systems. Complementary acquisitions under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) support custom software development, workflow automation, and data modernization initiatives. Seace’s expertise lies in procuring technical services that bridge legal compliance, data management, and operational efficiency within the federal tax ecosystem.
