Key points

- Value ~$5.4M, performance Aug 2023–Apr 2025
- Recipient: ITC-DE, LLC
- A "support" contract — foundation, operations, and studies — not a single AI application
- The IRS handles vast taxpayer data, so analytics demand (fraud, compliance) is large
- In the descriptions of the 222 federal spending records this site holds as of 2026-09-01, task order appears seven times, small business five and option three.
1Foundations rather than a single application
Rather than building a single AI application, this contract sets up the foundation that makes such programs run — data-analytics infrastructure, operations, and studies. The IRS handles enormous volumes of taxpayer data, so analytics use cases (fraud detection, compliance, efficiency) are broad.
2Where the budget actually goes
3What the description says about the mechanism
Counting the words about procurement mechanism that appear in the descriptions across the 222 federal spending records this site holds as of 2026-09-01 gives task order in seven, small business in five, option in three and follow-on in two.
All are few. The description field states what is being bought, not the arrangement it is bought under. The mechanism has to be read off the award type and the numbering instead; reading descriptions alone, a run of orders from one framework looks like a set of separate procurements.
Why it matters
A sign that government AI budgets fund not just visible applications but the data-analytics foundation beneath them. Useful for gauging the maturity of public-sector data use and govtech.
