About this opportunity
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, within the Department of Commerce, has awarded ActivClient software licenses and maintenance under a limited sources justification, with an award date of October 29, 2026. The notice references contract NNG15SC82B, and no set-aside was used.
The attached Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity describes a brand name limited competition for HID ActivID ActivClient/Axiad software and support, continuing the renewal of the existing firm-fixed-price delivery order. The justification states ActivClient is a critical and essential component of USPTO's smartcard authentication infrastructure, serving as middleware for GSA-issued PIV and PIV-I cards and supporting user authentication, secure workstation login, and email encryption across approximately 1,500 employees and 18,000 desktop machines. Market research identified SafeNet Authentication Client and Cryptovision SCinterface as alternatives, but the justification states neither meets all essential HSPD-12 requirements, including troubleshooting tools and PIV-I standard support.
The requirement covers 17,000 units of HID ActivID ActivClient Software, 17,000 units of Premium Renewal for Validation Authority Per User, 4 units of HID ActivID VA Responder Premium Support, one annual subscription for Axiad Cloud Virtual Private Cloud, and 500 units of Workforce CBA subscription per user identity devices (YubiKey, PKI Tokens, virtual smart cards). The base period runs from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2027, with four option periods extending through October 31, 2031. The contracting officer will finalize a price reasonableness determination before award through the Acquisition Form Documentation.
