About this IDV
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Sheridan Ross P.C., a Denver-based intellectual property law firm, a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $115 million for patent legal services in the chemistry domain. The contract was awarded on April 20, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027, and operates under the NIH Patent Legal Services master IDIQ vehicle. This civilian federal contract includes no set-aside designations and serves as the foundational contracting mechanism for issuing delivery orders across multiple NIH institutes and centers. The underlying solicitation, posted in November 2018, sought to establish multiple IDIQ contracts across four technology categories—biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software—to support NIH's comprehensive patent prosecution and intellectual property management needs. Sheridan Ross P.C. was selected to manage a substantial portion of the government's patent legal workload, which includes handling over 2,500 active patent cases and filing approximately 200-300 new applications annually across NIH's nine technology transfer centers and other federal agencies.
Under this IDIQ contract, Sheridan Ross P.C. delivers specialized patent legal services including patent prosecution, Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application drafting and filing, international patent application preparation, responses to patent office communications, foreign language patent claim translation, and conflict-of-interest assessments for patent case transfers. Individual delivery orders issued against the master contract have ranged from $310 to $16,001, with recent task orders supporting specific NIH components such as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). All delivery orders are awarded on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designations, reflecting competitive award processes. Services are performed primarily in Denver, Colorado, and the contract's structure enables rapid issuance of task orders to address time-sensitive intellectual property protection needs for federally funded biomedical research discoveries, supporting NIH's broader mission to advance innovation and facilitate technology transfer from research institutions to clinical and commercial applications.
