About this IDV
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on behalf of the National Institutes of Health, awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Klarquist Sparkman, LLP on April 20, 2020, for a $386 million ceiling covering patent legal services in biotechnology, chemistry, medical engineering, and software. This is one of multiple awards under the NIH Patent Legal Services program.
Work is performed at Klarquist Sparkman's Portland, Oregon office and at subordinate NIH institute locations nationwide, with administrative coordination through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The originating solicitation, posted November 15, 2018 with a due date of March 12, 2019, required the contractor to manage over 2,500 active patent cases and file approximately 200–300 new applications annually across NIH's nine technology transfer centers and affiliated agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Services include patent prosecution, patent application drafting and filing, responding to patent office actions from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent offices, Patent Cooperation Treaty filings, conflict-of-interest checks, and national and international patent prosecution strategy development across biotechnology, chemistry, medical engineering, and software technology domains.
The contract period runs from April 20, 2020 through April 19, 2027. NAICS code 541110 (offices of lawyers) and PSC code R425 (patent legal services) apply. Recent delivery orders issued under this IDIQ reflect sustained ordering across multiple NIH institutes: the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases issued a $15,324 order in April 2026 for transactional agreement review and drafting for the Global Library of Obstetric Networks; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute issued orders in December 2025 and August 2025 for national stage patent application and Patent Cooperation Treaty filing work; and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has issued numerous orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to $87,794 for ongoing patent prosecution and legal support, with both firm fixed-price and time-and-materials pricing structures. Delivery order activity spans 2024 through 2026 across at least five NIH institutes.
