About this IDV
McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP (MBHB), a Chicago-based intellectual property law firm, holds a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $115 million with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027. This contract was awarded without set-asides on April 20, 2020, following an NIH solicitation posted in November 2018 seeking patent legal services across four technology categories: biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software. The contract serves as a master vehicle enabling the NIH and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to procure specialized patent legal support from MBHB on a task order basis. Services encompassed under this master contract include patent application drafting, patent prosecution strategy development, conflict of interest checks, international patent filing, and preparation of national stage patent applications. The firm is positioned to manage over 2,500 active patent cases and support the filing of approximately 200-300 new applications annually across the NIH's nine technology transfer centers and related federal research agencies.
Four task orders have been awarded under this master contract to MBHB totaling approximately $1.52 million, with performance conducted in Chicago, Illinois. These task orders reflect the breadth of patent legal support needed across NIH institutes: a $706,786 time-and-materials delivery order for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) supporting chemistry patent legal services through June 3, 2027; a $774,761 time-and-materials delivery order for the NCI supporting chemistry patent legal services concluded in June 2024; a $22,735 firm fixed price delivery order for the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) for conflict of interest checks completed in April 2022; and a $12,852 firm fixed price delivery order for NCATS to develop Patent Cooperation Treaty filing strategy and update patent specifications. No subcontractors or set-aside designations were utilized across any of these delivery orders, with MBHB serving as the prime contractor providing direct legal services to support federal research agencies' intellectual property needs.
