About this opportunity
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is seeking a cheminformatics software solution for 251 patent examiners and business employees, designed to enhance chemical data processing capabilities. The Request for Information (RFI) targets a comprehensive software platform that supports advanced functionalities including chemical structure drawing, name-to-structure conversion, batch conversion across multiple chemical name formats, and integration with chemical search tools. Critical technical requirements include SMILES/InChI import/export capabilities, Markush group enumeration, and chemical property calculations such as pKa, logP, molecular weight, and boiling/melting points. The evaluation will focus on seven specific areas related to cheminformatics solution functionalities, with vendors required to demonstrate software capabilities through a detailed response template. The RFI response deadline is June 9, 2025, at 10:00 ET, with PDF submissions to be emailed to specified USPTO contacts, and the solicitation number is ACQ250051.
The contract will have a base performance period from August 11, 2025, to August 10, 2026, with potential option periods extending through August 10, 2030. There is no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, and the software must operate on Microsoft Windows environments and be compatible with USPTO workstation baselines. If cloud-based, the solution must be FedRAMP authorized, with performance primarily conducted remotely and some on-site work at USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, VA. The licensing will be for concurrent use, with no expected user base expansion during option years. The procurement falls under NAICS category 541519 for Other Computer Related Services, indicating a focus on specialized computer-related solutions. Vendors must also complete a Secure Software Development Attestation Form, demonstrating compliance with Executive Order 14028 and OMB Memorandum M-22-18 requirements for software security practices.
