The Department of Commerce's United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has awarded CPA Global (Landon IP) Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit organization, a multiple award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) valued at up to $301,255,000 for Patent and Trademark Office Document Classification Services from 2017 to 2027. Under this IDC and associated task orders, CPA Global will provide a range of patent-related services to the USPTO, including full classification services, document reclassification, and initial classification of patent applications. The work will primarily be performed at CPA Global's facilities in Chandler, Arizona and Ann Arbor, Michigan. This IDC does not have any set-aside designations. In addition, CPA Global holds a separate $267.4 million multiple award IDC from the USPTO for Patent Cooperation Treaty International Search and Opinion Services, which allows the agency to procure international search and written opinion services from the contractor through September 2028.
The task orders awarded to CPA Global under the Patent and Trademark Office Document Classification Services IDC demonstrate the variety of patent classification and reclassification services the contractor provides to support the USPTO's core mission of examining patent applications and disseminating patent information. The task orders range in value from tens of thousands to over $13 million, and typically involve firm fixed price arrangements for work to be completed within 1 to 3 years. The IDC and associated task orders allow the USPTO to efficiently procure these critical patent processing services from an experienced global leader in intellectual property services.
