The file "SOW Attachments.zip" contains supplementary documentation for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for Patent Technical Services (PTS). This Total Small Business set-aside opportunity is seeking vendors capable of processing, tracking, and reviewing complex federal records through an alternative competition method under the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG).

The RFI, posted on November 19, 2025, with a response deadline of December 10, 2025, is a market research initiative to identify qualified small businesses. Vendors must submit comprehensive responses including a draft Statement of Work, corporate profile, past experience references, and specific RFI questions. Notably, only respondents will be eligible to participate in the subsequent alternative competition, and submission does not guarantee selection. The USPTO will review responses to determine which vendors are most likely to successfully meet the agency's Patent Technical Services requirements, with no formal evaluation criteria applied during this initial market research phase.
