1099 Replacement

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI (Solicitation HQ0423‑26‑XXXX) to identify vendors capable of delivering a cloud‑native, FedRAMP IL‑5‑accredited solution on the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability (JWCC) that will replace the legacy Filing Information Returns Electronically (FIRE) system. The required platform must support the IRS Information Returns Intake System (IRIS) A2A interface, process >130,000 annual information‑return forms (e.g., W‑2C, 1099‑NEC, 1099‑MISC), provide a modern web UI with guided workflows, and include full Section 508 accessibility (accompanied by a completed VPAT). Vendors must describe their lifecycle maintenance process for adaptive, corrective, and preventative updates, including proactive deployment of mandatory annual IRS tax law and form changes, and outline a draft project plan that covers legacy data migration, RMF security control implementation, ATO activities, UAT, training, and deployment before the end of FY 2026. The contract will begin with a six‑month Proof‑of‑Concept period, followed by one‑year option periods contingent on performance, and is subject to Service Level Agreements requiring response times of 30 minutes for critical outages and up to the next business day for non‑service‑affecting issues. Responses must be no more than five pages, include a cover letter with company name, DUNS, CAGE, and point‑of‑contact information, and be submitted as a PDF or Word document to Marlon Garcia (marlon.i.garcia.civ@mail.mil) by February 27 2026. Offerors must also provide recent (≤5 years) relevant contract references—including contract number, value, period, and performance commentary—to demonstrate experience with comparable scope and complexity.
