About this IDV
The National Institutes of Health awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Armstrong Teasdale LLP with a ceiling of $386 million on April 20, 2020, as one of multiple awards under the NIH Patent Legal Services program. The contract is not set-aside.
Place of performance is Clayton, Missouri. The IDIQ procures patent legal services across four technology categories—biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software—including patent prosecution, patent application drafting and filing, Patent Cooperation Treaty application preparation, national stage patent applications in multiple countries, conflict-of-interest checks, and intellectual property support for NIH institutes and centers.
The ultimate completion date is April 19, 2027. NAICS code 541110 (offices of lawyers) and PSC code R425 (patent legal services) apply. The solicitation, posted November 15, 2018 with responses due March 12, 2019, sought multiple contractors capable of handling over 2,500 active patent cases and filing approximately 200 to 300 new applications annually across NIH's technology transfer centers.
Recent delivery orders issued under this IDIQ have drawn from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Orders through September 2025 range from $0.00 to $16,809.00 and are priced as firm fixed price or time-and-materials. Typical task-order scope includes drafting and filing provisional and Patent Cooperation Treaty applications, preparing national stage applications in Europe and China, and performing conflict-of-interest checks for specific NIH reference numbers. All work is performed from Armstrong Teasdale's Clayton, Missouri office.
