The agency is currently conducting market research to identify qualified contractors capable of meeting their requirements, with interested parties required to submit detailed company information, small business status, and points of contact by December 12, 2024. Responses are limited to 5 pages and will be evaluated to determine the appropriate procurement approach and potential small business set-aside designation.

The anticipated contract will have a base period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, with potential for four additional one-year option periods. Work will be primarily performed onsite at USPTO facilities in Alexandria, Virginia, with the contractor expected to provide a Program Manager and multiple Subject Matter Experts. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation documents, the requirement includes key deliverables such as monthly status reports, policy advisory support, and regular meeting attendance. The procurement will utilize the Professional: Patent and Trademark support code (PSC R498) to classify the specific service requirements.
