The Business Oriented Software Solutions (BOSS) is a $2 billion Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to procure comprehensive information technology services. The contract supports software development, system integration, cybersecurity, cloud services, and professional technical support across the agency's technological ecosystem. Based on the solicitation, the vehicle was designed to transform the USPTO's technology infrastructure through next-generation software solutions, with a focus on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, customized software applications, and database management systems.

Task orders under the BOSS vehicle predominantly focus on information technology services, with ceiling values ranging from $1,000 to $71 million and performance periods typically extending 3-5 years. Frequent prime contractors include Halvik Corp (a woman-owned small business), Steampunk Inc., Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), and Booz Allen Hamilton. The majority of task orders are labor-hour or firm-fixed-price contracts covering areas such as enterprise operations, cybersecurity, product development, system maintenance, and specialized technical support. Most task orders do not utilize small business set-asides, though some contractors like Halvik are certified 8(a) or small disadvantaged businesses. Performance locations are primarily in Virginia, with work supporting the USPTO's technology modernization and operational requirements.
