About this IDV
The National Institutes of Health awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to Leydig, Voit & Mayer, LTD. on April 20, 2020, with a $17 million ceiling to provide patent legal services covering software and other technology domains, with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027.
This is a no-set-aside, multiple-award vehicle procured under the NIH Patent Legal Services master IDIQ program, which centralizes patent legal services across NIH institutes and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The contract covers four technology categories: biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software. Work is performed in Chicago, Illinois.
The underlying solicitation, posted November 15, 2018 with responses due March 12, 2019, sought multiple contractors to provide patent prosecution, intellectual property support, and related legal activities. The government anticipated awarding multiple IDIQs with a combined ten-year ceiling exceeding $520 million. Contractors were required to manage over 2,500 active patent cases and file approximately 200–300 new applications annually across NIH's nine technology transfer centers and other locations nationwide.
Recent delivery orders issued under this IDIQ span patent application preparation and filing, conflict-of-interest checks, prior art searches, and general intellectual property counsel. Notable recent orders include a $606,000 time-and-materials order for the National Cancer Institute (software patent legal services, awarded June 4, 2024), a $16,365 firm-fixed-price order for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to draft and file a Patent Cooperation Treaty application (awarded July 28, 2025), and a $13,934 order for conflict-of-interest checking (awarded August 29, 2024). Performance locations for task orders are in Chicago, Illinois.
