Press Release

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTEC, a leading global consulting, technology, and managed services company delivering solutions at the intersection of data, AI, and customer experience (CX), today announced its public sector subsidiary, TTEC Government Solutions in conjunction with TTEC Digital, has been awarded a one-year, $21 million contract by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide contact center enterprise infrastructure software and solutions.

Awarded through TTEC's General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule, the contract grants TTEC Government Solutions the prime contractor responsibility for operating, sustaining, and modernizing the IRS contact center information technology infrastructure. The award underscores TTEC's growing role as a trusted technology partner to federal agencies delivering secure, reliable, and citizen-centric experiences at enterprise scale.

"As government agencies embrace AI to better serve citizens, they need partners with the experience to modernize complex customer experience environments while maintaining the reliability and security those missions demand," said Ken Tuchman, chairman and CEO of TTEC. "This award reflects our continued investment in public sector innovation and our commitment to helping agencies deliver simpler, smarter, and more effective experiences for the people they serve."

The IRS contact center environment supports more than 30,000 customer-facing agents, processing more than 200 million annual call events, including approximately 140 million taxpayer calls spanning live assistance and self-service calls. TTEC will provide the enterprise contact center technology and infrastructure that powers omnichannel engagement, intelligent call routing, workforce optimization, quality management, analytics, and reporting across this mission-critical environment.

In alignment with the IRS’s Taxpayer 360 initiative, TTEC will also introduce AI-powered enhancements. These include agentic AI and properly monitored conversational self-service that build on the IRS's existing infrastructure and provide live assistance representatives with better contextual data – helping improve taxpayer experiences while avoiding the cost and disruption of a complete platform replacement.

"For years, our teams have supported the IRS's contact center environment, giving us a deep understanding of its technology, operations, and mission," said Steve Parowski, vice president of TTEC Digital's public sector practice. "We're honored to serve as the prime contractor and look forward to delivering a seamless transition while helping the IRS provide faster, more efficient, and more accessible service for millions of American taxpayers."

The award expands TTEC Government Solutions' federal portfolio and reinforces the company's commitment to helping government agencies modernize constituent experiences through cloud, AI, and customer experience technologies that improve service delivery while maintaining the security, resilience, and reliability required for public sector operations.
