Quick Summary
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) to identify vendors capable of providing Water Utilities for its Brookhaven Service Campus in Holtsville, NY. This is for market research and planning purposes only. Responses are due May 26, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT.
Purpose
This SSN is issued solely for information and planning, not as a Request for Quote (RFQ) or Request for Proposal (RFP). The IRS seeks capability statements to conduct market research and plan for the procurement of domestic water, sprinkler line, and hydrant services. The IRS is not currently seeking quotes or proposals and will not pay for response costs.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the provision of domestic water service, sprinkler line service, and hydrant service for the IRS Brookhaven Service Campus located at 1040 Waverly Avenue, Holtsville, NY. The draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines a base period from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with four additional one-year option periods, extending services potentially through September 30, 2031.

Submission Requirements
Interested parties must submit a capability statement, limited to six pages (one cover, five for body/conclusion), in Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word format. Submissions must be single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-pitch font (8-pitch for drawings/captions). The cover letter must include:
- Company name, address, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).
- Point of Contact (Name, title, email, phone).
- Business size (small, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB) based on NAICS Code 926130 ("Regulation and Administration of Communications, Electric, Gas, and Other Utilities").
- List of Government Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) vehicles (e.g., GSA Schedule, OASIS, SEWP, 8a STARS III).
- Confirmation if items were manufactured in America.
- Confirmation of interest and intent to submit a quote/proposal if a solicitation is issued. No proprietary information should be included.
Special Considerations
The IRS is required to make payments directly to the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA), which is identified as the sole provider for this geographic area. A GSA Area-wide Public Utilities Contract does not exist, preventing adherence to FAR 41.204(c)(1).
Response Submission
Responses must be submitted electronically via email to Nia Dickerson at Nia.N.Dickerson@irs.gov by the deadline. The email subject line must be: "Sources Sought – Water Utilities Brookhaven".
