APRIL 9—Computer Sciences Corp., holder of the IRS Prime contract, is in final negotiations with three vendors for tax systems modernization subcontracts.

According to CSC officials, the company is about to pen deals with IBM Corp., Science Applications International Corp. of San Diego and Unisys Corp.

SAIC will oversee the tax agency's customer communications initiative. Under this effort, the company will set up a new routing system to handle toll-free calls from taxpayers.
