WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is looking to hire motivated acquisition professionals interested in providing America's taxpayers top quality service. The agency's Procurement office plans to fill 80 vacancies nationwide, many of which are contract specialists.

The IRS Procurement office provides acquisition services for IRS business units, Treasury departmental offices and Information Technology for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
