About this IDV
Sughrue Mion, PLLC was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity master contract by the National Institutes of Health on April 20, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of April 19, 2027 and a ceiling value of $386 million over ten years. The contract provides patent legal services in biotechnology to support the intellectual property requirements of multiple NIH component agencies, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Services are performed at the contractor's Washington, D.C. offices and include patent prosecution, preparation and filing of domestic and international patent applications, responses to patent office actions, and patent counseling to advance NIH's biomedical research and technology transfer objectives. The original solicitation, posted November 15, 2018, sought multiple contractors across four technology categories—biotechnology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and software—to manage over 2,500 active patent cases and file 200-300 new applications annually across NIH's nine technology transfer centers. The contract was awarded on a competitive basis with no set-asides.
Under this master IDIQ contract, Sughrue Mion, PLLC has received multiple delivery orders with values ranging from approximately $1,800 to $33,000 across diverse funding institutes. Representative task orders demonstrate the range of services, including $33,000 for national stage patent application filing (National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, April 2021), $15,381 for patent legal services to NIAID (January 2026), and $12,086 for patent application preparation and filing (September 2024). Delivery orders employ both time-and-materials and firm fixed-price pricing structures, with periods of performance typically ranging from several months to one year. All delivery orders were awarded competitively with no set-aside designations, reflecting open competition among qualified patent legal service providers. The consistent issuance of task orders across multiple NIH institutes demonstrates the contract vehicle's effectiveness in providing specialized intellectual property legal support for federal biomedical research institutions.
