Infrastructure Design Engineering Architecture and Integration 2 (IDEAI-2)

The Infrastructure Design Engineering Architecture and Integration 2 (IDEAI-2) is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to provide comprehensive information technology infrastructure and engineering support services. The contract vehicle encompasses a wide range of technical services including system planning, secure system design, infrastructure engineering, system engineering, accessibility engineering, enterprise architecture, data architecture, application architecture, security architecture, and system development life cycle support. The contract was designed to enable the USPTO to obtain independent, objective, and expert technical advice and assistance for ongoing and future information technology initiatives.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on modernizing USPTO's IT infrastructure, with typical contract values ranging from approximately $100,000 to $5 million and durations spanning 6-24 months. General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), Aeec LLC (American Consultants), and Octo Consulting Group are the most frequent prime contractors, each winning multiple task orders covering areas such as cybersecurity, network engineering, unified communications, data architecture, and enterprise system support. The task orders uniformly utilize labor-hour pricing and are not set aside for specific socioeconomic categories. Performance locations are predominantly in Virginia, specifically in areas like Herndon, Alexandria, and Mosby. The funding consistently comes from the Department of Commerce's USPTO, with task orders addressing critical technology modernization efforts across various agency operational domains.
