About this opportunity
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published a Special Notice regarding a non-competitive contract award for subscription access to IP.com's InnovationQ+ platform. This notice, posted on December 16, 2025, announces the USPTO's intent to award a contract to IP.com I, LLC under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and PSC code DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service). The procurement will be conducted as a non-competitive award under the Alternate Competition Method, which exempts the agency from standard competitive procurement requirements. The anticipated contract award date is the week of February 23, 2026. This notice is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals, as the USPTO has determined through market research conducted from September through November 2025 that IP.com I, LLC is the only known qualified source capable of providing the required services.
The contract will provide the USPTO with subscription access to the InnovationQ+ platform, with a performance period running from March 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031, and includes a potential 6-month extension option. The due date for this special notice is December 29, 2025, though this date does not apply to competitive bidding since no competitive proposals are being solicited. The non-competitive nature of this procurement, authorized under the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act and PTAG Part 6.1.1, means that contractors are not eligible to compete for this opportunity, as it has been reserved exclusively for IP.com I, LLC based on the agency's determination of sole-source justification. This notice serves to provide transparency and formal notification of the USPTO's acquisition decision rather than to solicit competitive bids from the contracting community.
