AI Contract Overview
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is proceeding with a sole source procurement under its unique authority granted by the Patent and Trademark Office Efficiency Act and the Patent and Trademark Office Acquisition Guidelines to lease approximately 500 additional parking spaces in the West Garage at 550 Elizabeth Lane, Alexandria, Virginia, which is directly connected to the USPTO Alexandria Campus at 600 Dulany Street. This urgent requirement is driven by the need to support the Department of Commerce’s plan to implement the Presidential Memo “Return to In-Person Work” and Executive Order 14343, which mandate the return of the majority of USPTO employees to their offices. LCOR ALEXANDRIA LLC, identified as the sole provider with the capacity to deliver these spaces immediately and at a reasonable cost, has been selected due to the exhaustion of all other nearby connected parking facilities. The procurement bypasses traditional competitive processes under the Alternative Competition Method, exempting it from numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements. A firm fixed-price lease contract will be negotiated directly with LCOR ALEXANDRIA LLC, whose Unique Entity Identifier is NDP7EMB48KJ7. The NAICS code for this action is 812930, and the solicitation number is ACQ-26-1123.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Office of Administrative Services (OAS), has an URGENT requirement to lease 500 additional parking spaces in the “West Garage” located at 550 Elizabeth Ln. and connected to the USPTO Alexandria Campus at 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA 22314
We have identified LCOR ALEXANDRIA LLC, 400 DULANY ST, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22314-5773. UEI: NDP7EMB48KJ7 as the sole contractor for the “West Garage” parking facility at 550 Elizabeth Ln. Alexandria, VA 22314 that can provide these spaces connected to the USPTO Alexandria campus immediately.
Specifically, the USPTO needs to lease approximately 500 additional parking spaces as soon as practicable to continue to implement the Department of Commerce plan created in furtherance of the Presidential Memo “Return to In-Person Work” and EO 14343 "Further exclusions from the federal labor-management relations program" which requires the majority of USPTO employees to return to offices located on the Alexandria Campus.
The USPTO has existing arrangements with other parking facilities near or connected to the campus which are already at capacity. The sole remaining parking facility connected to the campus, has the required number of additional spaces needed and at a cost determined to be reasonable.
