Further, the Government may contact the vendor for additional information regarding the information submitted as part of this market research effort.

Project Title / Short Description: �Software Portfolio Management The purpose of this RFI is for the Government to obtain knowledge and information for project planning purposes only.� The Government plans to schedule one-on-one sessions with a few industry respondents with commercial software sourcing and vendor management experience, based on their RFI responses. Problem Statement The IRS currently lacks the knowledge, expertise, and market information to establish and manage commercial software license agreements and licensing models that effectively and efficiently support enterprise-wide modernization initiatives and provide cost avoidance.��� Technology improvements at the IRS must always be driven by what will improve customer service and enforcement and in a way that secures taxpayer information. The key dependency for many IT initiatives is the modernization of our core IT infrastructure and business processes to get the full value of the data we have.� This Statement of Objectives describes the objectives and outcomes the IRS requires to improve the utility of commercial software license agreements that enable IT modernization initiatives and maximizes cost efficiency.� ��� The purpose of this acquisition is to obtain contractor services to establish and operate a Software Portfolio Management program that transforms how the IRS acquires commercial software, incorporates vendor management best practices, and optimizes cost avoidance.�� Please see attached the Request for Information (RFI) and Statement of Objectives (SOO) for more detailed scope information and instructions for RFI responses.
