About this IDV
Polsinelli PC, an Am Law 100 firm headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, was awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract by the National Institutes of Health's Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations on April 20, 2020, with a ceiling value of $17 million and an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027. This contract vehicle provides comprehensive patent legal services across four technology domains: biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software. The underlying solicitation, posted November 15, 2018, sought to award multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts to support the NIH's intellectual property protection requirements, including patent prosecution, prior art searches, and filing of provisional and non-provisional patent applications. The contract enables centralized administration at NIH headquarters while allowing task orders to be issued across NIH institutes and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with the combined ceiling for all awarded contractors exceeding $520 million over a ten-year ordering period.
Delivery orders issued under this master contract reflect routine patent legal support services performed at Polsinelli's Kansas City, Missouri facility, with individual task orders ranging from approximately $12,000 to $516,943. Notable task orders include a $504,697 time and materials delivery order from the National Cancer Institute (awarded June 4, 2024, completion June 3, 2027) and a $516,943 time and materials delivery order also from the National Cancer Institute (awarded June 29, 2021, completion June 28, 2024), both supporting software patent legal services. Additional firm fixed price delivery orders from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute address specific invention protection requirements, including Patent Cooperation Treaty applications and provisional patent applications covering designated NIH reference numbers. All task orders have been awarded competitively without set-aside designations, supporting the NIH's mission to protect intellectual property developed through federally funded biomedical research initiatives.
