The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) plans to modify contract # DOC50PAPT0501035 with F.M. Michalkewicz by increasing the contract ceiling by $500,000. This adjustment addresses an unexpected rise in current requirements within the original scope of the contract. The decision to increase the ceiling rather than initiate a new competitive solicitation is based on the Government's assessment that pursuing competition now would result in significant duplication of costs and an extended transition period, ultimately leading to delivery delays and jeopardizing program execution. The contract pertains to expert advice and assistance under the NAICS code 541611 and is managed by the Department of Commerce's Patent and Trademark Office, located in Alexandria, Virginia. The point of contact for this modification is Jason E Taylor, reachable via email and phone. This notice serves solely as an announcement of intent to modify the contract ceiling and does not constitute a request for competitive proposals.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) intends to modify its contract # DOC50PAPT0501035 for Expert Advice & Assistance with F.M. Michalkewicz to increase the contract ceiling by $500,000. It is necessary to increase the ceiling to accommodate an unexpected increase in current requirements within the general scope of the contract. The Government has determined that a new competitive solicitation at this time would incur substantial duplication of costs during a lengthy transition period that would not be recovered through competition. The Government has also determined that a lengthy transition at this time would cause delivery delays and jeopardize program execution. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals.
