Technical Data & Intellectual Property (IP) Rights Strategy

The contract seeks to evaluate government rights to technical data and intellectual property necessary for the long-term support of the IBDSS system, with a focus on ensuring sustained operational access and control. It requires a strategic assessment of existing IP allocations, data rights under federal acquisition regulations, and potential gaps in government entitlements that could hinder future maintenance, upgrades, or interoperability. The goal is to identify legal, technical, and contractual pathways that safeguard the Department of Defense’s ability to independently sustain and modernize the system without reliance on proprietary restrictions or third-party dependencies. The work must be performed at Hanscom Air Force Base and is structured as a subcontract under the FA8730 Kessel Run Aflcmc/hbbk office. Respondents must submit proposals by August 27, 2026, and should possess expertise in defense acquisition law, IP policy, and technical data management within federal contracting environments. The North American Industry Classification System code 541611 indicates the scope involves management consulting services focused on administrative and support operations. Success will hinge on delivering actionable recommendations that align with federal acquisition frameworks while strengthening the government’s long-term ownership and flexibility in supporting critical defense systems.
