About this IDV
Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd., an internationally recognized intellectual property law firm headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations on April 20, 2020. The master contract, valued at $386,000,000 for the biotechnology category alone (with additional allocations for chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software totaling over $520 million across all technology domains over the ten-year ordering period through April 19, 2027), was established to provide comprehensive patent legal services to support NIH's extensive biomedical research and technology transfer mission. The contract encompasses preparation and filing of provisional patent applications, national stage patent applications, Patent Cooperation Treaty applications, patent prosecution activities, prior art searches, patentability opinions, conflict of interest reviews, and general intellectual property legal counsel. Services are delivered across multiple technology domains including biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software, supporting the NIH's nine technology transfer centers and enabling approximately 200-300 new patent applications to be filed annually while managing over 2,500 active patent cases.
Task orders have been issued from this master IDIQ by various NIH institutes and centers including the National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Human Genome Research Institute, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. Individual delivery orders range from $2,520 to $8,888,000 and are structured as either firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts, with performance conducted primarily at the contractor's Chicago, Illinois location. No set-aside designations were applied to the master contract or task orders, reflecting the specialized and technical nature of the patent legal services required. The contract vehicle supports the NIH's mission to advance biomedical research by enabling federal research institutions to efficiently procure expert legal counsel necessary to protect and manage intellectual property arising from federally funded research activities, thereby facilitating the translation of scientific discoveries into potential healthcare innovations and commercial development opportunities.
