The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is procuring a FedRAMP authorized Software as a Service (SaaS) Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Processing System through a cloud-based platform. The procurement seeks a comprehensive system to manage FOIA requests and will be structured as a 12-month base period with three 12-month option periods. The USPTO is utilizing an Alternative Competition Method under the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG), exempting them from the Competition in Contracting Act requirements. Through market research and product demonstrations, the agency has determined that only one vendor meets their specific requirements and will receive the solicitation. The anticipated award date is October 1, 2025, and this public notice explicitly states that no responses are requested or will be accepted.

This procurement does not include any set-aside designations and will be awarded as a full and open competition alternative method. Deloitte Transactions and Business Analytics LLP has been identified as the sole vendor selected to receive the solicitation based on the USPTO's assessment of which contractor is most likely to successfully meet their needs. The contract structure encompasses a total potential performance period of up to 48 months when including all option periods. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC category DA01 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Support Services). No specific contract values or budget ranges have been disclosed in the public notice, and the focus remains on acquiring a specialized FOIA processing capability that meets federal cloud security requirements.
