Quick Summary
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of Chief Counsel (OCC), has issued a Limited-Sources Justification for a sole-source award to Deloitte Financial Advisory Services, LLP for eDiscovery Litigation Support Services. This is a critical bridge contract to ensure continuity of mission-essential services while a new Treasury-wide competitive solution is being procured and implemented.
Purpose & Scope
This justification outlines the urgent and compelling need to award a Firm-Fixed-Price task order to the incumbent, Deloitte, to prevent a lapse in critical eDiscovery and litigation support services. The current contract expires on March 29, 2026. The bridge contract is designed to cover the period until a new Treasury-wide shared eDiscovery solution is awarded (anticipated Q3 FY2026) and receives an Authority to Operate (ATO) from IRS cybersecurity. Failure to award this bridge would result in a loss of case data, inability for attorney teams to meet statutory and court-mandated deadlines, and significant disruption to IRS litigation efforts.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm-Fixed-Price Task Order (Bridge Contract)
- Vendor: Deloitte Financial Advisory Services, LLP (Incumbent)
- Duration: 6-month base period with two 3-month option periods
- Set-Aside: None specified (Sole Source Justification)
- Product Service Code: R699 (Other Administrative Support Services)
- Place of Performance: Arlington, VA, United States
- Published Date: April 1, 2026
Justification
Deloitte is identified as the only vendor currently possessing a hosted SaaS eDiscovery solution with an existing ATO from IRS cybersecurity. An ATO is a mandatory requirement for any replacement tool, making Deloitte uniquely positioned to provide uninterrupted service during this transition period. The justification emphasizes that no other vendor could meet the urgent requirement without unacceptable delays and risks to critical litigation support.
