About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Serco Inc. with a ceiling of $344,239,400 on March 1, 2017, for initial classification of patent applications, USPC routing and reclassification, and CPC expert services. This is a multiple-award vehicle with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2027.

Work is performed at multiple locations including Herndon, Reston, Alexandria, Chandler, and Harrisonburg, Virginia, as well as in Arizona. The IDIQ solicitation calls for full classification services supporting patent and trademark application examination, including initial classification, expert-level USPC assignment, CPC routing, and document reclassification projects.

The contract carries a base period through February 28, 2027, structured around successive option years for full classification services delivery. Recent task-order activity under this IDIQ includes a $17.493 million delivery order issued March 1, 2025, for full classification services and initial classification of patent applications under Option Year Four, with performance at Reston, Virginia. Earlier orders issued August 25, 2025, span document reclassification projects valued between $45,517.52 and $187,210.10, all performed in Herndon, Virginia. A $17.002 million delivery order from March 1, 2023, for initial classification services engaged Marathon TS, Inc., a woman-owned small business, for IT support services alongside Serco's core classification work.

The contract is firm fixed price across all delivery orders, with no socioeconomic set-aside designation. Performance locations reflect USPTO regional examination operations and administrative centers supporting the agency's patent and trademark mission across the Eastern United States.
