About this opportunity
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), a civilian agency under the Department of Commerce, issued a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) notice on November 5, 2025, for the continuation of Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) Support Services, with the contract awarded to Kentro (doing business as IT Concepts Inc.) on November 1, 2025, under contract number 1333BJ26C00270001. The services encompass expert-level HRIS support including a Team Lead, HR Connect Consultants, Tier I Support personnel, and Website Administration to support the USPTO's HR systems and human capital transformation efforts. The sole source justification was based on 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A) authority, with the government determining that Kentro possesses the requisite security clearances, extensive experience with USPTO's specific HR systems, and proven track record supporting federal agencies that no other firm could replicate. The firm-fixed-price contract structure includes a twelve-month base period with four twelve-month option years, creating a potential five-year engagement designed to ensure minimal disruption as the current contract expired on October 31, 2025. While the specific award amount was not disclosed in the notice, the contract is structured as an 8(a) program acquisition, and market research confirmed the absence of alternative vendors capable of meeting the specialized requirements.
