Intelligent Automation And Innovation Support Services (IAISS)

The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), an agency within the Department of Commerce, established a Master BPA for Intelligent Automation And Innovation Support Services on March 5, 2020, with a shared ceiling of $50 million. Ordering closed on March 4, 2025, and no new task orders may be placed against the vehicle.

The BPA contracted piloting, testing, and implementation of intelligent automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, robotic process automation, and microservices to transform business processes. Awarded task orders show work spanning patent examination data systems automation, enterprise data services, system configuration and delivery automation, and innovation product-line research and engineering. All four task orders funded USPTO operations; no other agencies ordered under the vehicle.

Four prime contractors each won one task order. Satsyil Corp holds the largest potential value at $14.7 million, followed by Steampunk, Inc. at $12.3 million, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. at $9.4 million, and Science Applications International Corporation at $2.5 million. Work was distributed evenly by order count, with no prime capturing more than 25 percent of awards.

Of the four task orders, two carried no set-aside designation and one was set-aside for total small business. The vehicle obligated $34.8 million against its $38.9 million combined potential value, or 90 percent of the available amount. The most recent task order was awarded on August 8, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of November 13, 2025. Ordering momentum slowed after 2021: one order in 2020, two in 2021, and one in 2022. Task-order values ranged from $2.5 million to $14.7 million, with pricing structures split between time and materials and labor hours.
