Pilot IRS Awards Five Scanning Contracts
“The IRS has awarded five $7.5 million contracts through an experimental procurement vehicle for a multiple solution challenge to digitize paper files. The request for proposals released in July indicated the agency was looking to use the Pilot IRS program to test innovative solutions it could deploy to receive, prepare, reproduce, sort, validate, store return and transfer digital copies of various IRS documents and records,” reports Chris Riotta in FCW.
“According to the RFP, the volume contemplated is significant, with the initial potential use case having upwards of 1 billion pages. The tax agency is looking for solutions that cover the scanning of paper documents and in some instances the extraction of machine-readable data. The five contractors who received awards this week include Xerox, Brillient Corporation, Ripcord Inc. Government CIO LLC and Resultant KSM Consulting.”
