AI Contract Overview

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) intends to award a fixed-price, requirements contract for high-quality color and part-color photoprints of plant patent drawings, including fulfillment of any reorder requests. The contract is expected to have a base period of one year with four optional one-year extensions and is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under NAICS Code 561439. Interested vendors are required to obtain six original plant patent color drawings, provided as Government Furnished Property (GFP), to prepare their pre-award photoprint samples, which must accompany the technical proposal. These GFP drawings are loaned on the condition they be returned upon proposal submission or by the closing date, with replacement costs of up to $200 per drawing if not returned. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is scheduled to be posted online around March 15, 2002, and will include all necessary procurement documents; however, no mailing list or vendor notification will be provided, so prospective bidders must monitor the USPTO website regularly. Only small business firms that submit proposals in response to the RFP will be considered for contract award. Questions regarding the procurement will not be addressed prior to the RFP release. The contract specialist overseeing this procurement is John R. Baumert, reachable at the USPTO office in Alexandria, Virginia.

Full Description

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)seeks to award a Fixed Price Requirements type contract to acquire high quality color/part color photoprints of plant patent drawings and fulfill any reorder requirements. The period of performance for this requirement is anticipated to be for a base period of one year and four additional one-year option periods.

Prior to the closing date of the RFP, all interested parties will be required to pickup six (6) original Plant Patent color and part color drawings, (hereinafter referred to as Government Furnished Property (GFP)), for use in preparing pre-award color and part color photoprint samples to accompany the technical proposal. These GFP drawings will be on loan until such time as proposals are submitted.

Please note that all GFP drawings must be returned on this date whether or not a proposal is submitted. A Request for Proposal (RFP) will be made available on the Internet at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/comp/proc/currproj.htm on or about March 15, 2002. Interested parties are responsible for checking the website regularly for release of the RFP and for other procurement-related documents.
