The full text is located here: https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-24316


The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Office of Administrative Services (OAS), has an URGENT requirement to purchase forty (40) Garventa Lift Evacu-Trac evacuation chairs and forty (40) storage cabinets, in part, as a result of a recent fire within the Alexandria Campus at 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.  These emergency evacuation chairs and cabinets will be deployed immediately upon delivery on the tenant floors (Floors 2-10).
