The federal contract IDV award W15QKN09A0026 was issued by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) to Eshelman William E, a sole proprietorship providing patent application drafting, patent prior art searches, and other intellectual property support services. The single-award, indefinite delivery contract has a ceiling value of $0 and is used by RDECOM to efficiently procure these patent-related services on an as-needed basis through the issuance of firm-fixed-price delivery orders.
The majority of the task orders awarded to date have ranged from $4,000 to $5,200 in value and tasked the contractor with drafting patent applications, conducting prior art searches, and supporting the patent prosecution process for inventions arising from RDECOM's research and development programs for naval systems and other military technologies. The contract has been used to deliver these patent application services for over 50 specific Army and Navy invention disclosures, with the contractor performing the work at their facility in Front Royal, Virginia. This IDV provides RDECOM with a streamlined mechanism to protect and manage the intellectual property developed through the agency's defense-focused engineering and R&D activities.
