Indefinite Delivery Contract W911SR07A0002

Rahman LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $100,000 by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) effective April 26, 2007, with an ultimate completion date of April 26, 2010. The contract vehicle procures patent application preparation services to support the Army's research and development initiatives. This indefinite delivery mechanism provided the government with flexible access to specialized intellectual property legal services, allowing the contracting activity to issue delivery orders as needed throughout the contract performance period without predefined quantities or schedules.

Four delivery orders were issued under this contract vehicle, with cumulative values totaling approximately $39,600 and performance locations primarily in Cape St Claire, Maryland. The delivery orders addressed specific patent-related requirements including patent application preparation (valued at $27,500), appeal brief preparation (valued at $5,100), and corrective response documentation amendments (valued at $0). All delivery orders were firm fixed price arrangements, except one cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order for administrative correction purposes. The work supported Aberdeen Proving Ground and the Research Development and Engineering Command, reflecting Rahman LLC's specialized capacity to provide patent prosecution and prosecution-related legal support for Army research and development programs across multiple technological domains.
