About this vehicle
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 established this Master IDIQ for patent legal services on October 24, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $4.676 million. Ordering closed on October 23, 2021, making this vehicle inactive; no new task orders can be placed against it.
The vehicle executed 47 task orders with combined potential value of $8.9 million, fully obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2017 with 20 orders, then declined sharply to 2 orders each in 2019 and 2020. Most recent task-order award dates to July 7, 2020.
Ballard Spahr LLP dominates by potential value, holding 6 orders worth $8.7 million combined—approximately 98% of the vehicle's financial activity. Dinesh Agarwal PC accounts for 31 orders but only $197 thousand combined potential value, reflecting numerous small engagements. All other primes combined hold negligible value. Eighty-three percent of task orders carried no set-aside designation; 15% were small-business awards and 2% partial small business.
Funding concentrated heavily at Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 (the awarding office), which placed 18 of 47 orders totaling $8.7 million. Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 placed 17 orders worth $126 thousand, Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 placed 9 orders worth $43 thousand, and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 placed 3 orders worth $24 thousand.
The portfolio mixes two distinct scopes: patent legal services (provisional applications, legal services) and small-dollar facility modifications (modular ramps, platform ramps, porch lifts), though patent legal services drove the lion's share of obligated value. Task-order values ranged from under $1,300 to $3.9 million, with firm fixed pricing throughout. This vehicle is closed to pursuit.
