About this IDV
The National Institutes of Health established a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle titled "NIH Patent Legal Services" to procure patent-related legal services across four primary technology categories: biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software. The master contract was awarded on April 20, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027, and a combined ceiling value of $386 million for biotechnology services. The prime contractor, Mcbee Moore & Vanik IP, LLC, is a boutique intellectual property law firm headquartered in Frederick, Maryland, specializing in patent prosecution and intellectual property protection strategies for federally funded research programs. The contract was awarded through full and open competition with no set-aside designations to a single vendor under this biotechnology category. Services are provided without geographic restrictions across NIH institutes and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, enabling centralized contract administration while permitting task orders to be issued across multiple agencies and research centers nationwide.
Mcbee Moore & Vanik IP, LLC delivers a comprehensive portfolio of patent legal services including drafting and filing domestic and international patent applications, conducting prior art searches, developing patent prosecution strategies, responding to patent office actions, filing Patent Cooperation Treaty applications, and providing general patent counseling. The task orders issued under this master contract vehicle demonstrate the breadth of services, ranging from firm fixed price delivery orders for specific patent filing activities to time and materials task orders providing ongoing patent legal support. Representative deliverables include provisional patent applications, national stage patent applications filed in multiple jurisdictions including Europe, China, and Japan, responses to foreign patent office actions, prior art analyses with sample patent claims, and Patent Cooperation Treaty filings. Performance locations are primarily concentrated in Frederick, Maryland, with secondary locations in Bethesda, Maryland, reflecting the firm's proximity to NIH headquarters and various institutes. Individual task order values range from approximately $10,000 to $765,000, with the contract supporting over 2,500 active patent cases and approximately 200 to 300 new patent applications annually across NIH's nine technology transfer centers and research institutions.
