SSC Pacific Patent Application Drafting

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC PAC) established a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for patent application drafting services. This contract enables the Department of the Navy to obtain professional support in preparing and delivering up to 75 sets of documentation required for non-provisional United States utility patent applications. The primary objective is to support the technical and legal documentation needs of the Navy's intellectual property development process, specifically focused on converting technical innovations into formalized patent submissions.

The task orders under this IDIQ are consistently set aside for Woman-Owned Small Businesses and demonstrate a focused scope of patent application drafting services. Each delivery order ranges in value from approximately $14,850 to $34,400, with completion dates typically within three months of award. The task orders were awarded on August 19, 2013, with ultimate completion dates ranging from September to October 2013. The contract includes minimum guarantee delivery orders with $0.00 obligated, which is standard practice to establish the basic contract vehicle. While specific prime contractors are not explicitly named in the provided documentation, the consistent set-aside for women-owned businesses suggests a commitment to supporting diverse government contracting opportunities within the Navy's intellectual property management ecosystem.
