About this IDV

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian federal agency, awarded a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Carlson, Gaskey, & Olds PC (UEI: M31YBK861277) for patent legal processing services. The indefinite delivery vehicle was established on April 17, 2009, with an overall ceiling value of $1,000.00 and an ultimate completion date of April 21, 2014. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation and contemplated the issuance of task orders for specific patent legal work as needed by NIST. Six task orders were issued under this indefinite delivery contract between July 24, 2009, and September 4, 2012, with individual ceiling values ranging from $10,085.00 to $12,935.00, totaling approximately $68,875.00 across all task orders.

The contracted services encompassed patent legal support across multiple disciplines, including patent prosecution services, patent application preparation, non-provisional patent application drafting, and general patent legal services for NIST's intellectual property portfolio. Task orders were performed at two primary locations: Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 (the primary NIST headquarters location for the majority of task orders) and Birmingham, Michigan 48009 (for a specialized non-provisional patent application under NIST Docket 12-006). All task orders were structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders with completion dates clustered between July 2014 and September 2017. Several task orders included deobligation actions, indicating that remaining balances were returned to the government upon completion of the specified legal work, reflecting disciplined contract administration and accurate scope-based pricing by the contractor.
