About this vehicle
The USPTO, part of the Department of Commerce, established the Business Oriented Software Solutions (BOSS) Master IDIQ for software development and integration services covering COTS products with customized software, database applications, and other solutions. Orders may be placed through May 1, 2032 against a $2 billion shared ceiling. The vehicle is multiple-award with five prime contractors, and the originating RFI (ACQ-19-1870) carried a Partial Small Business set-aside. The Master IDIQ was awarded April 2, 2021, leaving roughly five years and five months of ordering authority. The source identifies no predecessor or successor vehicle.
Ordering has been uneven. The vehicle issued 25 task orders, with 5 in 2022, 3 in 2023, 14 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 1 in 2026 through the most recent award on May 1, 2026. Orders have obligated $326.2 million of the $490.4 million combined potential value, or 67%.
Awarded orders buy developmental security operations, Patent Center and Patent Trial and Appeal Board case-tracking development and operations, Contractor Access System implementation, network operations, site reliability engineering, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager administration, customer interaction platform support, UiPath SME support, and program management. Most orders are priced on labor hours.
Halvik LLC holds 10 orders ($200.5 million), Science Applications International Corporation holds 5 orders ($132.5 million), Steampunk, Inc. holds 5 orders ($93.5 million), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. holds 3 orders ($33.2 million), and Riva Solutions Inc. holds 2 orders ($30.7 million). Halvik leads on both order count and value.
The USPTO is the only customer agency, placing all 25 orders. Set-aside designations are 14 orders (56%) with no set-aside, 10 orders (40%) partially small business, and 1 order (4%) total small business. Unrestricted orders are the majority.
The largest order is Contract 1333BJ21D00280004-1333BJ24F00280007, a PAC and O&M recompete with $73.7 million obligated against a $73.7 million ceiling. The Contractor Access System implementation minimum-guarantee orders are $1,000 each, which are contractual floors, not representative order values.
