The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded a Firm Fixed Price, single-award contract to Cellco Partnership, doing business as Verizon Wireless, for mobile device services and support. This procurement, conducted under GSA MAS Contract 47QTCA20D00B5 and NAICS code 517312, is valued at 1.5 million dollars covering a base year and one option year. The agreement ensures the continuation of existing equipment, phone numbers, maintenance, and technical support for smartphones, tablets, peripherals, and accessories within the agency's inventory. This sole-source award was justified to mitigate significant operational risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and a maximum telework environment. Recalling over 1,000 devices from remote employees would have created unacceptable risks of device loss and communication delays that could cripple agency production. By maintaining the current contractor, the USPTO avoids the service disruptions that would result from replacing SIM cards and changing data plans for all mobile devices, thereby ensuring business continuity for agency executives and programs.

Full Description

Show more
The USPTO requires continuation of existing equipment, phone numbers, maintenance and technical support of current mobile devices (smartphones and tablets, etc.), peripherals and accessories in the existing inventory. USPTO awarded a Firm Fixed Price, single-award Order via GSA's Best-in-Class Wireless Mobility Solutions (SIN 517312) MAS Contract #47QTCA20D00B5 to Cellco Partnership dba Verizon Wireless IAW Limited Sources Justification. Due to the continuing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the maximum telework position of the agency, the recall of 1,000+ devices from employees who may or may not be residing and working within the DC Metro area presents an unacceptable risk. The risk of device loss, delay, and lack of communication device availability in a maximum telework environment would cripple the production ability of the agency. It is necessary to mitigate and avoid potential disruption of business operations for USPTO Executives and Programs. USPTO requires sustainment of the existing telephone numbers and associated data plans with the subscriber identification module (SIM) cards. The current contractor SIM card is used to identify and authenticate subscribers on all mobile devices (such as mobile phones and tablets). Competing and/or changing contractors would require a disruption in services to change each SIM card in each individual mobile device.

Solicitation # 140-0176
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) under NAICS 541820 for public relations services to develop and execute a nationwide public awareness campaign. The primary objective of this effort is to educate the public on the dangers of counterfeit pharmaceuticals and medical devices that are falsely represented as legitimate products. The scope of work includes the creation of a comprehensive campaign strategy, production of videos and public service announcements, development of a microsite and social media campaign, and the writing of blogs and press releases. Additionally, the selected vendor will be responsible for identifying and pitching influencers, celebrities, and journalists to amplify the campaign's reach and collaborating with the Office of Public Affairs to establish success metrics. This RFI is strictly for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. The government intends to use the gathered information to identify qualified small business contractors for a future solicitation. Interested vendors must submit a concise response not exceeding five pages, including a capability statement, primary contact information, and relevant project examples, in searchable PDF format. Questions are due by October 26, 2026, at 1pm ET, and final RFI responses must be submitted to the designated points of contact, Joy Pitts and Emanele Gawrelski, by November 6, 2026, at 10am ET. While SAM.gov registration is not required for the RFI stage, it will be mandatory for any vendor submitting a formal offer during the subsequent procurement phase.

Biosequence Search
Solicitation # ACQ-27-0065
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is conducting market research via Request for Information ACQ-27-0065 to identify commercially available solutions for a next-generation biological sequence search system. The objective is to implement a tool capable of searching biological sequences, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and antibodies, utilizing Super Intelligence (SI)-assisted capabilities to improve the efficiency and quality of patent examinations. The government seeks a turnkey commercial solution that can be fully configured, integrated, and deployed within approximately six months of contract award. Key technical requirements include high-accuracy alignment searching using standard algorithms such as Smith-Waterman and BLAST, SI-driven analysis for extracting sequence features from case files, and a cloud-based architecture self-hosted within the USPTO AWS environment. The procurement process follows the Alternative Competition Method, meaning the USPTO will use RFI responses to determine a limited number of qualified vendors eligible to participate in a subsequent competition. To be considered, vendors must submit the required response template by November 17, 2026. The solution must adhere to strict security and compliance standards, including FISMA, FedRAMP, FIPS, and NIST 800-series requirements to achieve an Authority to Operate, as well as Section 508 accessibility compliance. Additionally, the system must integrate with USPTO Identity, Authentication, and Authorization Management via Okta and ensure SI transparency per Executive Orders 13960 and 14179. The USPTO will maintain sole rights to all proprietary data and intellectual property developed under the contract.
