Computer Packages Inc.

Computer Packages Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Potomac, Maryland, specializing in patent maintenance and intellectual property management services for federal agencies. The company provides critical services centered on managing patent portfolios, tracking patent statuses, paying maintenance fees, and ensuring continued legal protection for inventions resulting from federally funded research programs. While limited public information is available about the company's history or founding, its extensive federal contract record demonstrates a highly specialized niche in supporting government research institutions' intellectual property protection efforts.

The company has consistently provided patent maintenance and annuity fee payment services across multiple federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research. Its contracts primarily involve tracking, docketing, and paying patent maintenance fees in both United States and foreign jurisdictions, supporting critical research initiatives. These services have been delivered through various contract types, including firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders, with contract values ranging from a few thousand to nearly $900,000. Notably, none of the company's contracts have included set-aside designations, suggesting the services are considered highly specialized and not subject to standard small business procurement guidelines.

Computer Packages Inc. holds a significant single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the NIH Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, valued at up to $5,478,454.00, which runs through March 16, 2026. This IDC serves as the primary vehicle for delivering patent maintenance services across multiple NIH research centers and institutes. Under this contract, the company has received numerous delivery orders totaling approximately $3.9 million, supporting various NIH institutes including the National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The IDC enables comprehensive management of patent expenses and supports the potential generation of licensing royalties from federally funded biomedical research innovations.
