About this IDV
Klarquist Sparkman, LLP, a Portland, Oregon-based intellectual property law firm, was awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract by the National Institutes of Health on April 20, 2020, to provide comprehensive patent legal services across four technology categories: biotechnology, chemistry, medical engineering, and software. The contract, valued at $115 million with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027, was established to support the patent prosecution and intellectual property protection needs of various National Institutes of Health institutes and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Services procured under this vehicle include patent application drafting and filing (provisional and non-provisional), responses to United States Patent and Trademark Office and foreign patent office actions, Patent Cooperation Treaty application preparation and filing, conflict-of-interest checks, international patent prosecution strategy management, and technology transfer support. The solicitation, posted by the National Institutes of Health in November 2018, sought contractors capable of managing over 2,500 active patent cases and filing approximately 200 to 300 new patent applications annually across nine technology transfer centers and government agencies located nationwide, with a combined ceiling across all categories exceeding $520 million over the ten-year ordering period.
Klarquist Sparkman has executed multiple delivery orders under this master contract since the April 2020 award, with task orders ranging from $4,920 to $1.9 million in value and covering firm fixed-price and time-and-materials arrangements. Notable task orders include a $1.868 million time-and-materials delivery order from the National Cancer Institute for chemistry patent legal services through June 2027, a $1.884 million time-and-materials delivery order from the National Cancer Institute for chemistry services through June 2024, and numerous firm fixed-price orders from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering for specific patent prosecution activities including provisional patent application filing, international patent application filing under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and conflict-of-interest determinations. All awards were made without set-aside designations, reflecting the contractor's specialized expertise in intellectual property law for federally funded biomedical research. Performance of all task orders occurs in Portland, Oregon, supporting the National Institutes of Health's mission to conduct and support medical research while protecting innovations arising from government-funded research initiatives.
