- Description
- RECOVERY - THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY WAS ONLY AVAILABLE TO QUALITY ASSOCIATES, INC. (QAI), A SMALL BUSINESS, FOR THE REASONS DESCRIBED BELOW. In compliance with the transparency and accountability requirements associated with the supplemental appropriations provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 (Pub.L.111-5), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) posts this notice of award of (TIRN0-10-P-00582). This purchase includes (14) Kofax Capture version 7.5 Full Station Licenses and one year of Software Upgrade Assurance (out-year maintenance for each of the 14 licenses). Version 7.5 of the Kofax software is already installed and has been in use at the IRS since 2003. This contract was awarded as a firm fixed-price action to QAI, a small business. The additional licenses are required for continued support of the Account Management System/Correspondence Imaging System (AMS/CIS) program. The AMS/CIS program uses document scanners to digitize taxpayer correspondence for use by IRS Customer Service Representatives and Tax Examiners in responding to and resolving taxpayer inquiries/issues. With the implementation of the Homebuyer Tax Credit enacted by the ARRA, the IRS has experienced increased volumes of taxpayer inquiries specifically relating to that initiative. The additional licenses will enable more Customer Service Representatives and Tax Examiners to access the AMS/CIS systems and provide the additional assistance required by the increased volume of inquiries. This contract was awarded to QAI without further competition because QAI is the only responsible source authorized to sell the software licenses for version 7.5. This is because version 7.5 of the Ascent Capture software is no longer publicly available; however, Kofax (the software manufacturer) has given QAI the exclusive authority to sell the software licenses for version 7.5 to the government.
