IT Services

The IT Services Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multiple-award contract vehicle established by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to acquire information technology services. The vehicle supports various IT product lines and professional services across different organizational units, including the End User Services Office, Office of Administrative and External Development (OAED), and Information Technology Management Systems (ITMS). With a shared ceiling value of $300 million, the master BPA enables the USPTO to rapidly procure specialized IT support through flexible task order competitions.

Task orders under this BPA primarily focus on IT professional services, with a consistent emphasis on labor-hour pricing and supporting USPTO's patent and trademark system operations. The majority of task orders range between $1 million to $19 million in value and typically have performance periods of two to three years, predominantly located in Alexandria, Virginia. Key prime contractors include Bnl, Inc. (a woman-owned small business) and Info Gain Consulting LLC (doing business as Momentum+), with task orders covering areas such as program analysis, IT management support, product line support, and administrative consulting. While most task orders have not been set aside, at least one explicitly designated a small business set-aside. The contract supports critical internal and external-facing information technology systems that enable the USPTO's core mission of patent examination and trademark registration.
