It is my understanding that if u have an accepted offer that amount can be used as the amount that needs to be paid. I gleaned that understanding from Morgan Kings books.

Blurb from IRS collection Manuel Chp 8 section 10,
5.8.10.2.4 (09-27-2011)
Bankruptcy After Offer In Compromise Acceptance
When a taxpayer files bankruptcy after an OIC is accepted, the Service may need to take specific actions to secure unpaid offer funds or to secure payment of tax through the bankruptcy proceeding. (See IRM 5.9, Bankruptcy and Other Insolvencies, for additional information.)
In accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the offer should not be defaulted or payments solicited while the taxpayer is in bankruptcy.
When the Service becomes aware that a bankruptcy has been filed after the acceptance of an OIC:
If
The offer funds have been paid in full
Then
The bankruptcy filing has no effect on the accepted offer.
If...
The offer funds have not been paid in full
Then
Refer to IRM 5.9.4.10.1 Accepted but Not Completed Administrative OICs. If additional guidance is required, contact the Insolvency Unit to determine necessary action to protect the Service's interest in the bankruptcy proceeding.

It is my understanding an offer dies if you file a 7 during the offer
period. I'll ask Morgan King and post his answer, should he reply.

This sounds like an executor contract problem. Upon filing a Chapter 7 case, the right to assume or reject an executor contract belongs to the trustee. If the contract is executor it must be dealt with under section 365. 365(d) provides that if the trustee does not assume or reject an executor contract...within 60 days after the order for relief, or within such additional time as the court, for cause, within such 60-day period, fixes, then such contract or lease is deemed rejected.
I would suggest calling the trustee once he or she is known to let them know that the debtor would like to assume this executor contract and then preparing the motion for the trustee. If the trustee will not file the motion, then file a motion to compel. I'm not sure why the trustee would want to assume since it does not benefit the bankruptcy estate, but benefits the postpetition debtor's estate.
There is probably more to this, but hope this contributes to the discussion. Any comments from chapter 7 trustees"

Colleagues:
A potential client is part way through payments on an accepted Offer in Compromise with the IRS and may need to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy before the payments can be completed. It is a very favorable compromise which will result in the release of a sizeable tax lien on his house. Will the filing of a Chapter 7 case terminate or otherwise adversely affect the accepted Offer in Compromise even if he wants to honor it and make the final payments?
