- Description
- RECOVERY – THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL BE COMPETED AMONGST THE “MEASURING AND IMPROVING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WITH THE IRS” BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (BPA) FOR REASONS DESCRIBED BELOW. In compliance with the transparency and accountability requirements associated with the supplemental appropriations provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Pub.L. 111-5, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) posts this notice of intent to issue a follow-on task order to a previously competed task order under a blanket purchase agreement (BPA). Task Order 0026 was awarded to a large business, ICF Macro, after the requirement was competed using Federal Supply Schedule provisions outlined in FAR 8.4. Task Order 0026 was awarded under the BPA, “Measuring and Improving Customer Satisfaction with the IRS.” The period of performance has ended for Task Order 0026, so this proposed action will be a new task order to be competed and awarded under the BPA. The Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC), a federal tax credit established by the Trade Act of 2002, is designed to help eligible Americans and their families pay for health coverage they might otherwise not be able to afford, by paying 80% of an eligible individual’s health plan premiums. Due to recent legislative changes and the changing face of the population, in 2009, the IRS re-baselined the quantitative survey done in the program’s infancy in 2003 using a modified version of the original survey. Results of this effort provided an updated baseline of program awareness, interest, usage and satisfaction and served as a benchmark for any future research once the legislative and population changes take hold. The re-base line project incorporated Surveys 3 and 4. Based on the results of the prior surveys it was determined that a set of supplemental questions are required. The new set of questions described in this proposed action will supplement the data obtained in Surveys 3 and 4. The results must be reported to Congress by December 31, 2010.
