Quick Summary

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for Digital Asset Computation and Data Analysis Services. This RFI, titled "IRS-DA_COMP_SVCS," aims to identify potential sources, contract vehicles, and set-asides for specialized support in examining digital asset transactions. Responses are due by March 20, 2026.

Purpose & Scope

This RFI is solely for market research and planning, not a solicitation. The IRS seeks to understand industry capabilities for providing non-personal services related to digital asset computation and report generation. The objective is to assist the IRS in calculating taxpayers' taxable income, gains, and deductible losses from digital asset transactions.

Key Requirements & Capabilities

Contractors would be expected to provide:

  • Digital Asset Computation Support: Including case ingestion conferences, computation plans, and detailed reports on gain/loss computations, transfer analysis, and methodology.
  • Data Ingestion & Analysis: Support for ingesting and normalizing data from various sources (on-chain, off-chain, APIs, exchanges), reconciling, and valuing digital assets in USD.
  • Litigation Support: Optional services for civil and criminal litigation, including preparing computations and expert witness testimony.
  • Technical & Security Standards: Software capabilities must meet FedRAMP standards, and personnel will require background investigations and safeguard IRS information per Publication 1075.
  • Key Personnel: Specific roles such as Lead Digital Asset Tax and Accounting Subject Matter Expert, Lead Data Analyst, and IT consultants are required.
  • Quality Control: Development and implementation of a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure reproducible and defensible outputs.

Contract & Timeline

  • Type: Request for Information (RFI) / Sources Sought
  • Anticipated Period of Performance (Draft PWS): A base year (August 13, 2026 - August 12, 2027) plus four 12-month option periods.
  • Set-Aside: None specified; the RFI will inform potential set-asides.
  • Response Due: March 20, 2026, 11:59 PM Eastern

  • Published: March 3, 2026

Submission Details

Responses, limited to 16 pages, should be emailed to RYAN.M.DOLAN@IRS.GOV. Submissions should detail corporate capabilities, relevant experience, technical approach, valuation methodologies, reproducibility, security controls, staffing/surge capacity, budgetary pricing inputs, and acquisition strategy feedback (NAICS/PSC, contract vehicles, business size). Do not include taxpayer information or PII.
