About this IDV
Leydig, Voit & Mayer, LTD., a Chicago-based intellectual property law firm, holds a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patent Legal Services master vehicle to provide patent-related legal services across four technology categories: biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software. The master IDIQ, awarded on April 20, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027, has a ceiling value of $17,000,000 and encompasses services including patent application preparation and filing, patent prosecution, prior art searches, conflict of interest reviews, and general intellectual property legal counsel. The contract was established through a competitive solicitation posted November 15, 2018, with responses due March 12, 2019, to replace incumbent contractors and address the NIH's substantial intellectual property portfolio management needs across its nine technology transfer centers and affiliated research institutions. Performance locations are primarily in Chicago, Illinois, with secondary locations in Bethesda, Maryland, and Rockville, Maryland, reflecting the geographic distribution of NIH institutes and centers.
The NIH Patent Legal Services IDIQ vehicle enables various NIH institutes, including the National Cancer Institute, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to issue task orders for specialized patent legal services supporting biomedical research and technology transfer initiatives. Delivery orders issued under the master IDIQ range from approximately $7,400 to $1,044,000, with pricing structures utilizing either firm fixed price or time and materials arrangements. Representative task orders demonstrate the breadth of services, including provisional patent application preparation and filing ($14,405), national stage patent application preparation for international protection ($10,299–$10,830), Patent Cooperation Treaty application drafting and filing ($17,479), patent prosecution support including office action response strategy development ($7,471), conflict of interest legal reviews ($13,681), and broader patent legal services retainers ($888,800 for the National Cancer Institute through June 2027). No set-aside designations have been applied to any awards issued under this contract vehicle, reflecting the highly specialized and technical nature of the patent legal services procured.
