- Description
- The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has a continuing requirement for Patent Data Capture products for the Office of Data Management (ODM). Patent Data Capture products enable the USPTO to meet its statutory requirement of publishing patent applications and granting issued patents weekly in standardized formats. The requirements include, but are not limited to, the following: • conversion and quality review of incoming and outgoing documents • high quality conversion of electronic patent application data into standardized formats for publication and issuance • after-allowance document processing • review of patent applications to ensure compliance with applicable statutes and rules • data capture to support the issuance of Certificates of Corrections (C of C), including printing of the C of C and preparing them for mailing The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 511199 (All Other Publishers), proposed Federal Supply Code (FSC) is 7690 (Miscellaneous Printed Matter), and Small Business Size Standard is 500 employees. The USPTO publicized this requirement on January 28, 2014 through a Request for Information notice posted to www.fbo.gov and the results indicate that Reed Technology and Information Services Inc is the only known qualified source capable of satisfying all the requirements under the stated scope of services. The USPTO intends to negotiate and award a bridge contract, DOC50PAPT1400005, for Patent Data Capture to Reed Technology and Information Services Inc. (DUNS: 884918947), 7 Walnut Grove Drive, Horsham, PA 19044-2201 for a period of February 1, 2015 to January 31, 2018 (base and all option years), with an estimated contract ceiling for the base period of $171,000,000. The anticipated award date is approximately August 29, 2014. Base period of performance is February 1, 2015 to January 31, 2016. As a result of USPTO's exemption from the Competition in Contracting Act, the subject requirement is being procured using the Alternate Competition Method in accordance with the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines (PTAG) Subpart 6.1.1 and the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act 35 U.S.C. §2(b)(4)(A). This notice is not a request for submission of competitive proposals. The USPTO is not seeking responses or communication from competitive sources through the posting of this notice. In accordance with posted Request for Information, no evaluation letters or responses to technical questions will be issued to organizations that submitted capability statements.
