The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) master contract for patent legal services across four technology categories: biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software. The $520 million multiple-award IDIQ, managed by the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, provides task order-based services such as patent prosecution, intellectual property protection, and related legal activities to support NIH's technology transfer centers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Under this IDIQ, the prime contractor Burns & Levinson LLP has received firm fixed price delivery orders for specific patent-related support, including conflict of interest checks, drafting and filing provisional and PCT patent applications across technology areas like biotechnology, imaging, and chemistry. The work, valued from $10,000 to $12,000 per order, is performed in Boston, Massachusetts with completion dates through April 2024. No set-aside designations were used for these awards.
