The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded Ballard Spahr LLP a single-award indefinite delivery contract with a potential value of $36,259,000. The contract provides for patent legal services to assist the Office of Research and Development's Technology Transfer Program in obtaining patent rights for VA inventions and providing patent legal counseling. Services include domestic and foreign patent prosecution as well as legal support for managing VA patent portfolios. The period of performance is January 2024 through January 2034. The original pre-solicitation notice sought a contractor to provide qualified patent attorneys and agents. Services were to include comprehensive patent legal counseling and prosecution domestically, internationally, and for foreign regional and national applications. The contractor must have scientific education or training relevant to VA's areas of research interest, including biomedical, clinical, rehabilitation and health services. A subsequent solicitation was to be issued as full and open competition, seeking a fixed-price IDC for an initial five-year base period and a five-year option. The goal was to meet the needs of the Office of Research and Development's Technology Transfer Program for patent legal services supporting VA research projects.
