Probably without even giving Intuit a chance to bid on it. Not that I like Intuit, they suck IMO. But I do think a vendor selection process such as this should be an open one. Instead we will have more back room-brokered graft.
- elicash 3y agoThat might be true later! But so far: "The system was developed by the IRS and U.S. Digital Service, the White House’s technology consulting agency." You can learn more about the U.S. Digital Service here: https://www.usds.gov/mission https://www.usds.gov/mission
- CodeWriter23 3y agoWell that totally disproves the idea because the USDS would never outsource anything.
- elicash 3y agoI suggested in my comment that they might!
- beisner 3y agoYeah the USDS is one of the only romantic/bright spots for good application of tech in the US government.
