About this opportunity
The US Patent and Trademark Office announced its intent to make a sole-source award for real estate planning and management support services by October 28, 2026, under the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act exemption from full and open competition. The USPTO intends to award a firm fixed Blanket Purchase Agreement to FD Stonewater, LLC (UEI: L26UHZU1XC37), 1001 N. 19th Street, Suite 1401, Arlington, VA 22209, to support portfolio-wide real property planning and GSA consultation services for pending space assignment actions across the USPTO's real estate portfolio. This determination follows a Request for Information (ACQ-27-0182) closed on September 24, 2026, which yielded two legitimate small business responses; FDS was identified as the contractor most likely to meet agency needs. No competitive solicitation will be issued. Written questions must be submitted via email to Christopher Ward (Christopher.ward@uspto.gov) or Yen Nguyen (yen.nguyen1@uspto.gov) no later than 9:00 AM ET on October 28, 2026; phone calls are not accepted.
Notice text
The subject requirement is being procured using the Alternative Competition Method in accordance with the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG), 78 Fed. Reg. 61185 (October 3, 2013), and the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act (PTOEA) 35 U.S.C. § 2(b)(4)(A).
As a result of its exemptions, the USPTO is not required to meet the test of “full and open competition” as defined in FAR Part 6 and may use agency-specific acquisition procedures as described below when the circumstances warrant it and it is in the best interest of the agency to do so.
Consequently, USPTO intends to make a sole source BPA Award to support its portfolio-wide real property planning as well as specific GSA consultation support for pending GSA space assignment actions across the USPTO portfolio. After previously posting an RFI (ACQ-27-0182) to sam.gov which closed on 9/24/26, USPTO received 2 legitimate small business responses and have identified FD Stonewater, LLC (FDS); 1001 N. 19th Street, Suite 1401, Arlington, VA 22209; UEI:L26UHZU1XC37 as the contractor able to most likely meet the agency’s needs for this requirement.
As a result, per (PTOEA) 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(4)(A as further defined in PTAG 6.1.1 (d) USPTO intends to negotiate and award a firm fixed BPA with FDS to meet this requirement.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, nor will solicitation be issued to the public. Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to the following point of contact (POC) and alternate point of contact no later than 9:00 AM ET on Wednesday, October 28, 2026
- POC: Christopher Ward at Christopher.ward@uspto.gov
- Alternate POC: Yen Nguyen at yen.nguyen1@uspto.gov
- NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE
SYNOPSIS STATEMENT
